Solving an equation by converting a rational base to a negative exponent

The video tutorial explains how to use properties of exponents to solve equations. It begins with a review of the equality rule and demonstrates how to transform fractions to have the same base. The tutorial then applies the power of power rule to solve an equation, emphasizing the importance of consistent bases. The solution process is detailed, including the use of the distributive property, and concludes with finding the value of X. The session ends with a review and an invitation for questions.

What does the power of a power rule state in relation to exponents?

How do you solve for X in the equation derived from the exponents having the same base?
