In order to understand solving logarithmic equations, students
must understand the basics of logarithms, and how to use
exponentiation to access the terms inside the logarithm. Some
more complicated instances of solving simple logarithmic
equations require knowledge of the product, quotient and power
rules of logarithms in order to simplify complex terms. Solving
simple logarithm equations and what I mean by simple logarithm
equations is basically logarithm equation that is in logarithm
form. so basically you have a log, a base, your term and then an
answer. So basically, 3 things, I'll call this a simple
logarithmic equation. Really all you have to do whenever you're
solving something in this form is put into exponential form,
okay? No matter what the x is we're going to deal with x's in
all 3 of these spots. Just put into exponential form and solve,
okay? So this one the 3 is going to come up and around leaving
us with x=3 to the -2 and this problem has now just turned into
evaluating an exponent. The negat
