Solution
Denote 
.
Hence, the system of equations given in the problem can be rewritten as
Solving the system gives 
and 
.
Therefore,

Solution2
Denote b=n^x. Hence, the system of equations given in the problem can be rewritten as sqrt(x)=x/2, b*x=1+x Thus, x=x^2/4, x=4. So, n=b^4 Then, 4b=1+4. So, b=5/4. Then, n=625/256 Ans=881
