Solving for a variable by converting to exponential

The video tutorial explains how to solve for the value of X using logarithms. It begins by introducing the concept of logarithms and suggests understanding them through their exponential form. An example is provided to illustrate the conversion of a logarithm to exponential form. The tutorial then demonstrates the steps to solve an equation for X, using properties of equality and basic arithmetic operations. The video concludes with a summary of the process of solving logarithms.

What is the initial equation that needs to be solved for X?

• 20X - 4 = 5

• X^2 - 4 = 20

• 5X + 20 = 4

• 4X - 20 = 5
