Solution
To solve the equation:
let's follow these steps:
-
Isolate terms: Move one term to the other side to make it easier to solve for .
-
Rewrite in terms of powers: Rewrite both terms in terms of powers of .
- The left side, , is equivalent to .
- The right side, , is already in terms of a power of .
So the equation becomes:
-
Rewrite equation by making the powers equal: Divide both sides by to express it as a single power of .
This yields:
-
