Solving All Log Equations There are 3 different types of log equations. 1. At least 1 non-log term---get one log term by itself and rewrite it as an exponential equation. 2. No logs at all---take the log of both sides to bring the variable out of the exponent. 3. Every term is a log ---get one log term equal to one log term and then use the property to make M = N
