You should review the four Laws of Logarithms.
Product, Quotient, Power, Change of Base
-----------------------------------------------
log7 (x+3)- log7 (x-3)=1
log7[(x+3)/(x-3)] = 1
[x+3]/[x-3] = 7
x+3 = 7x-21
6x = 24
x = 4
-----------------------------------------------
log3 (y-8)+ log3 (y=4)= log3 13
log3[(y-8)(y+4)] = log3[13]
y^2-4y-32 = 13
y^2 -4y -45 = 0
etc.
-----------------------------------------------
log2 84 = [log[84]/[log[2]] = 6.3923...
