Two basic strategies:
-one-to-one properties
if and only if x=y
if and only if x=y
-inverse properties
= x 
Strategies:
1- Rewrite the given equation in a form to use the one-to-one properties of exponential or logarithmic functions.
2- Rewrite an exponential equation in logarithmic form and apply the inverse property of logarithmic functions.
3- Rewrite a logarithmic equation in exponential form and apply the inverse property of exponential functions.
