The exponentiated result is the function's value. The logarithm is what exponent gave the function's value. The "logarithm" is the exponent. You are dealing just with an equivalent notation.
is an equation in exponential form. The base is 3; the exponent is the logarithm and it is 12-x. The value 729 is the product or antilogarithm. So in "log" form, you write, "The logarithm, base 3":
AMP Parsing Error of [log[3]]: Invalid function '[3]': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. . ,
"...of 729...",
,
... equals (12-x),


Continueing, you now have an equation with a term of x and no other variables. Subtract 12 from both sides, and multiply both sides by negative 1:


, Solved.

Take the log to the base of both sides


----------------------
Make an equation out of the right side

Rewrite it as:


, so


check the answer:



OK
This is just one of many approaches
