This math topic focuses on solving for unknown exponents within equations that involve bases raised to variable or fixed powers. The problems involve solving expressions where both sides contain powers of composite numbers. Students are expected to manipulate equations using the power law to isolate and solve for the unknown exponent, presented in multiple-choice format with various potential solutions for each problem. This is part of a broader introduction to exponents and power laws.
