To solve this exponential equation
 $3^x=2$  
 which cannot be changed into the same bases on both sides of the equal sign, you must _________________

• raise 2 to the power of x also.

• set x = 2

• divide by 3.

• take the logarithm of both sides.

Which statement is a step in the process of solving the following exponential equation for x.
 $3^{\left(x+1\right)}=2$ 

•  $3^{\left(x+1\right)}=\log2$ 

•  $\left(x+1\right)\log3=2$ 

•  $\left(x+1\right)\log3=\log2$ 

•  $x+1=\log2-\log3$ 

Write in logarithm form
 $6^{-3}=\frac{1}{216}$  

•  $\log_6\ -3=\frac{1}{216}$  

•  $\log_{-3}\ 6=\frac{1}{216}$  

•  $\log_6\ \frac{1}{216}=-3$  

•  $\log_{\frac{1}{216}}\ 6=-3$

The basic requirement in solving the exponential equations is

• the base in both exponentials has to be the same

• the exponents of the equations are the same.

• the base in both exponents has to be different.

• the exponents of the equations have to be different.
