(3^27)(5^10)(z) = (5^8)(9^14)(x^y)
25z = 3 x^y
z = 3 * x^y / 25 -> x is multiple of 5
(2) alone says that x = 5, hence z = 3 * 5^y / 25, still not enough info cuz y = 2 and y = 4 work too. (1) narrows our choices to y = 2.

10^50 has fifty zeros.
Subtract 1 and we get fifty nines.

48 * 9 + 2 + 6 = 360 + 72 + 8 = 440
