the rules of logarithms state:

(rule 1)

(rule 2)

(rule 3)

your expression is:



by rule 3.

by rule 3.

your expression becomes:



this becomes by rule 1.

since can also be written as , this can also be written as:



you can prove that your original expression of is the same as your final expression of by substituting for the values of a, y, z.

I used a = 10 because this base is solvable by using the LOG function of the calculator.

I let y = 7
I let z = 15

I got the same answer for the original expression and the final expression which says that I made the translation correctly.
