One clever pattern solves this entire exponent equation.

This exponent equation looks intimidating at first:

2ᵐ + 2²ᵐ + 2³ᵐ = 84

But there’s a pattern hiding inside it.

In this video, I’ll show you how to break the equation down step by step and find m without randomly guessing values or making the algebra unnecessarily complicated.

Pause the video before I reveal the method and try it yourself.What value did you get for m?

Drop your answer in the comments before watching the full solution. I’d also love to know what method you used.
