How do you solve an equation with exponents on both sides

The video tutorial explains the property of equality in equations, focusing on the importance of having the same base to equate exponents. It demonstrates how to rewrite numbers as powers of a common base, apply power rules, and use the distributive property to simplify expressions. Finally, it shows how to solve equations once the bases are equal, emphasizing step-by-step problem-solving techniques.

What does the distributive property allow us to do in the context of the equation?

What conclusion can we draw when we have the same base in an equation?
