The easy way to solve this is to recognize that 27 and 9 are powers of 3 and that 16 and 32 are powers of two. This will make finding the two logs easy. If we don't recognize this, then we are looking at changing the base of the logarithms to a base you have on your calculator and then using the calculator to find the answer.

But we're going to do the problem the easy way.

and exponents of 1/2 mean square root. Using all these our expression becomes:

Using our rules for exponents this simplifies:

Now we can use a property of logarithms, , to "move" the exponents out of the arguments:

Now, by definition:
and
so our expression becomes:

which simplifies...
