If au = av, then u = v
This says that if we have exponential functions in equations and we can write both sides of the equation using the same base, we know the exponents are equal.
343 22 x Now we use the property above. The bases are both 2 so the exponents must be equal.
343 x We did not cancel the 2’s, We just used the property and equated the exponents.
You could solve this for x now. 3

Let’s try one more:8
14 x
The left hand side is 4 to the something, but the right hand side can’t be written as 4 to the something (using integer exponents)
We could however re-write both the left and right hand sides as 2 to the something.
32 22 x So now that each side is written
with the same base we know the exponents must be equal.

Be careful !
This equation is not an exponential equation. This is an equation with fractional exponential
Remember! To get rid of the fractional exponential, we just multiply the powers of both sides by the reciprocal.
