• They simplify the equation to a constant

• They make the equation undefined

• They always satisfy the equation

What is the next step after equating the exponents in the solution for x?

• Multiply both sides by x

• Divide both sides by x

• Add the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

What is the final expression for x in terms of m and n?

• m over n to the power m minus n
