Addition Method/ Substitution Graphing


Linear Combination

Steps for Solving Exponential


Equations by Graphing
Example 1
Solve exponential functions by graphing.

1 𝑥−1
a) (2) =7 b) 3𝑥+2 = 𝑥 + 1

1 𝑥
c) 4𝑥−3 = 𝑥 + 2 d) (4) = −2𝑥 − 3

Example 2
Solve exponential equations with the same base.
• If the bases are the same, the exponents must be the same in order to make the
values equal.

a) 3𝑥+8 = 35 b) 6 = 62𝑥−3 c) 103𝑥 = 102𝑥+3

d) 22𝑥 = 26 e) 62𝑥 = 6𝑥+1 f) 73𝑥+5 = 7𝑥+1


Example 3
Solve exponential equations with different baes.

a) 5𝑥 = 125 b) 4𝑥 = 2𝑥−3 c) 9𝑥+2 = 27𝑥

1 𝑥 1
d) (2) = 4 e) 4𝑥+1 = f) 43𝑥 = 8𝑥+1
64

1 𝑥−1
g) (3) = 27
