OBJECTIVE Solve exponential equations when both sides are not expressed with the same base.
Step 1 Isolate the exponential expression on one side of the equation.
Step 2 Take the common or natural logarithm of both sides.
Step 3 Use the power rule, loga M r = r loga M.
EXAMPLE 2Solving Exponential Equations Using the Logarithms
EXAMPLE Solve for x: 5 ∙ 2x – 3 = 17.

SOLVING LOGARITHMS EQUATIONS
42log means 2 64 1x x
Equations that contain terms of the form log a x are called logarithmic equations.
To solve a logarithmic equation we write it in the equivalent exponential form.
