You can
put this solution on YOUR website!You are correct.
.
You were given:
.

.
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:
.

.
which is the answer you got, so you did it correctly.
.
Good job! Keep up the good work!!!
