Solving Exponential equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve exponential equations by rewriting numbers with the same base and applying the one-to-one property. It demonstrates the process of equating exponents and solving for the variable by isolating it on one side of the equation. The tutorial provides a step-by-step approach to understanding and applying these mathematical concepts effectively.
