Understanding Exponents and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains solving an equation by taking the square root, which is equivalent to raising a number to the one-half power. It demonstrates how to manipulate exponents to achieve a common base, simplify the expression, and equate exponents to solve for X. The tutorial concludes with using cross multiplication to verify the solution.
