How to solve exponential equations [Quick and easy steps]

What do you do when you need to solve an equation and your variable is in the exponent? In this video, we'll look at solving exponential equations without using logarithms. This requires us to do some analysis on the base of the exponential term and compare it with the other parts of the exponential equation. We'll go through the problem solving steps on how to analyze the equation to be solved so you know what the best approach is to find your solution.
We'll also see how you can use quadratics and factoring to solve more complicated exponential equation problems.
