do u prefer to take log or In of both sides when solving for a variable exponent? Does it matter which you use? Why or Why not?

When solving a equation where the variable is in the exponent, we can use both log or ln to solve the equation.

There is no difference in use any of these two, because they have the same properties, and usually we have to use a calculator to find the value of some logarithms.

The only difference would be if you know some values already, for example log(2) = 0.301, and that would help you solving faster, then
