Solving an exponential equation applying properties of the power
Solve the following exponential equation: $10^{\frac{3x-1}{2x+1}}=100$
$$10^{\frac{3x-1}{2x+1}}=100$$
We reduce to the same basis and obtain $$10^{\frac{3x-1}{2x+1}}=10^2$$
Then, equalling exponents, we get $$\dfrac{3x-1}{2x+1}=2 \Rightarrow 3x-1=4x+2 \Rightarrow x=-3$$
$x=-3$
