Solving exponential equation the easy way one to one properties

The video tutorial explains how to handle equations with different bases by simplifying them to a common base. It covers the use of the distributive property to solve equations and provides a step-by-step example. The tutorial emphasizes that even if bases are not initially the same, they can often be rewritten to have a common base, facilitating easier equation solving.

What is a common challenge when working with bases in mathematics?

• Identifying when a base is already simplified

• Finding the square root of a base

• Dividing bases by zero

• Multiplying different bases

How can you express 16 and 32 using the same base?

• 16 as 2^3 and 32 as 2^4

• 16 as 2^4 and 32 as 2^5

• 16 as 4^2 and 32 as 4^3

• 16 as 3^2 and 32 as 3^3

What mathematical property is applied after rewriting numbers with the same base?

• Identity property

• Distributive property

• Associative property

• Commutative property

What is the result of solving the equation 4X - 12 = 5?

• X = 3.25

• X = 4.25

• X = 5.25

• X = 2.25

What should you remember about bases that do not initially match?

• They can never be rewritten to match

• They can often be broken down to have the same base

• They should be left as they are

• They need to be multiplied by zero
