Using the change of base to help solve an exponential equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving exponents by isolating the exponent and using logarithms. It highlights the limitations of the one-to-one property and introduces the change of base formula for logarithms, which is necessary when using calculators that only support base 10. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to apply these concepts to solve for the variable X.
