Hi Motaz. Let me demonstrate with a similar question: Let z = log5 (1/625). Start by realizing that if the log is in base 5, we want to exponentiate with base 5 on both sides: 5z = 5 log5 (1/625) On the right hand side, the exponentiation and the log cancel each other, because they have the same base of 5. So this simplifies to 5z = 1/625 From here, it is just normal work with exponents: 5z = 625-1 Now you can do your question exactly the same way. Cheers, | ||||||||||||
