Learn how to take log of both sides to solve an exponential equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations involving exponents by isolating the exponent and using logarithms. It discusses the challenge of using calculators that only support log base 10 and introduces the change of base formula to overcome this. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply this formula to calculate logarithms with different bases and solve for variables in equations.

What is the first step to solve the equation involving exponents?

Why can't you use the one-to-one property with the bases three and seven?

What is the significance of taking the logarithm of both sides in an equation?

How do you change the base of a logarithm when using a calculator that only computes log base 10?

What is the approximate value of X after solving the equation?
