I know the problem, afaik mathematica can't solve equations with
variables as exponents.
I had a different problem, it was a system of 4 equations with variables
as exponents, I solved it by dividing one of the equations by another
one. In this case, the exponents disappeared.

Here I don't know what to do :-(
