Solve Equations with Variable Exponents
Solve equations where the variable is in the exponent by rewriting both sides with the same base, then equating exponents.
Let's start
The unknown is the exponent
In an equation like 2^x = 16, x tells how many times to use the base as a factor. The goal is to rewrite 16 as a power of 2.
