Mike was working on solving the exponential equation 37^x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe to Mike how to solve this equation and how solving would be different if the bases were equa

We are given an exponential equation 37^x = 12 and is asked in the problem to solve step by step the variable of x. In this case, we can take the logarithm of both sides that is x ln 37 = ln 12. we then divide both sides by ln 37, x is equal to 0.6882.
