Greetings from Brasil...

Exponential equation - objective: to make the bases of the 1st and 2nd members equal

24 = 3 · 2ˣ let's move from 3 to the 1st member

24 ÷ 3 = 2ˣ

8 = 2ˣ simplifying 8: 8 = 2³

2³ = 2ˣ as the bases are the same, we work only with exponents

3 = X

If 24 = 3 • 2*, then x=​-example-1
