This math topic focuses on solving algebraic equations involving exponents, specifically where a monomial with an exponent is set equal to a constant. The problems require simplifying expressions to isolate and solve for a variable in the exponent. Specifically, the exercises deal with finding the correct power of a base (in this case, 3) that equals a given value (81), and identifying the variable within the exponent (such as 2n, 2y, 2x, etc.). This subtopic is a part of studying various exponent rules including negative, fractional, and power laws.
