AEmpty
BEager
CExact
DEqual
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Equal
1. The one-to-one property is what makes these equations solvable.
2. It compares the two sides once they look alike.
3. In an exponential equation, if the bases are equal then the exponents are equal.
4. So the exponents match.
