well if you could post a specific question i cudve helped!

anonymous · Answer

Not a matter of a question I need help on. It is for notes purposes.

Texas - Is it possible for you to just sum it up for me? ._.

texaschic101 · Answer

Basically it is just saying that if you can get the components of the exponential equation to have the same base, you can solve it using the properties of exponents.

anonymous · Answer

@texaschic101 But HOW would you solve it with the properties? Specific details please!

anonymous · Answer

an example would really help

anonymous · Answer

This is all simply for notes' purposes so I do not have an example I can provide off the bat. If you would like to explain with one, that would be awesome!

anonymous · Answer

you can solve for example 
$$\large 3^{2x}=27^{x-1}$$ by writing $27=3^3$ and by one property of exponents 
$$\large 27^{x-1}=(3^3)^{x-1}=3^{3x-3}$$ making $$\large 3^{2x}=3^{3x-3}$$  which makes 
$$2x=3x-3$$

anonymous · Answer

if you have another exponential equation, we can solve it and see which if any properties of exponents are used
