One way is to multiply through by the reciprocal of the term with the largest negative exponent.
eg if you have x-2 + 3x-1 + 5 = 0 then multiplying through by x2 will give
1 + 3x + 5x2 = 0, a standard quadratic.
But be careful about division by zero (or multiplication by 1/0 !!)

How do exponents help in math?
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
CAn someone help me with my radical equations?
There are several good websites to find help with radical equations. You tube has several good videos on radical equations that are free of charge.
What is the prime factorization of 12 using exponents?

How would you equate equations with exponents to zero?
I am not entirely sure what kind of equation you want to solve. Anyway, if an expression has an exponent of zero, the entire expression is usually equal to 1 (unless you raise zero to the power zero; that's undefined). Perhaps that can help you simplify the expression. For example: if you have an equation such as (x+y+z)0 + 5x + 3 = 10 The entire left expression, (x+y+z)0 can be replaced with 1, thus simplifying the equation.
Could you help find equations (LPP)?
