And you can solve this by converting this problem to the exponential form:
.

.
Then you can replace 8 by its equivalent form and you can note that on the
right side that . With these changes the exponential form becomes:
.

.
Now by the power rule of exponents you can multiply the exponents on the left side to get:
.

.
Since the base on both sides is equal to 2, for both sides to be equal the exponents
must be equal. So you can say
.

.
and solve for y by dividing both sides by 3 to get:
.

.
But from up above we said that so you can substitute for
and see that the answer is:
.

.
