Understanding Base Conversion and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving different number bases. It starts by isolating the variable and converting numbers from base 4 to base 10, and then from base 10 to base 17. The tutorial concludes with finding the solution to the equation, demonstrating the conversion process and the final answer.

What is the first step in solving the equation x base 17 minus 202 base 4 equals zero?

• Divide both sides by 4

• Add 202 base 4 to both sides
