Lesson Plan

Solve a single-logarithm equation by isolating the logarithm and converting to exponential form

Condense a multi-logarithm equation to a single logarithm before converting

Solve an equation of the form $\log_b M = \log_b N$ by equating arguments, and say why that is legitimate

Solve an exponential equation for its exponent by taking a logarithm of both sides

Rewrite a logarithm in another base using change of base, and recognise $\frac{\log x}{\log b}$ as $\log_b x$

Check every candidate solution against the original equation and discard extraneous ones
