Given an exponential equation in which a common base cannot be found solve for the unknown.
Isolate the exponential term before you take the common log of both sides. 459x 1 8x2 4 5 9 x 1 8 x 2. In order to solve the exponential equations we must first of all make powers appear on both sides of the equation with the same base in order to be able to equalize the exponents. Make sure that the exponential expression is isolated.
