Let’s see how to solve these problems step by step.
1. Use algebraic manipulation to move everything that is not in the exponential expression to one side
2. Isolate the variable by getting rid of the exponential expression
Example:
Example:
3. Solve the inequality
These problems are a little simpler than solving logarithmic inequalities. Let’s see how to solve an example step by step.

Step 1: Use algebraic manipulation to move everything that is not in the exponential expression to one side
Step 2: Isolate the variable by getting rid of the exponential expression
Step 3: Solve the inequality
That was pretty simple. Let’s see some more examples.
