Tricky but in the end if you are comfortable to manipulate the exponents rules it is not so tough https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-ma ... 24948.html
\(a^6b^6=b^{-4}c^{-8}\)
\(a^6=\frac{b^{-4}c^{-8}}{b^6}\)
\(a^6=b^{-10}c^{-8}\)
Now compare with the two quantities and subtract
\(a^6=b^{-10}c^{-8}\)
\(a^9=b^{-6}c^{-12}\)
\(a^{-3}=b^{-4}b^4\)
However we do know only that aband c are different from zero
The values could be of any kind and we do not know really that much
\(a^6b^6=b^{-4}c^{-8}\)
