Re: Solving for x
Hi;
You can convert that expression on the right to be
does that help you?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

You now have
Here is a trick to these types whenever the bases are the same
you can ignore them and just solve the equation that you get from the exponents.
