Using the property of equality to solve equations with exponents

The video tutorial explains the property of equality in the context of exponential functions. It guides students through the process of matching bases in exponential equations, applying the power of power rule, and using the distributive property to simplify expressions. Finally, it demonstrates solving linear equations using the property of equality, emphasizing the importance of having the same base for simplification.
