logB = 3(log x -1) -2 (1 - log y)
----
I'll assume you want to solve for "y":
---
2(1-log(y)) = 3(log(x)-1) - log(B)
-----------
2 - 2log(y) = 3log(x) - 3 - log(B)
----------
-2log(y) = log(x^3/B) - 5
------------
log(y) = (5/2)-log[sqrt(x^3/B)]
-------
log(y) = (5/2) - log[x^(3/2)/B^(1/2)]
---
y = 10^[(5/2) - log[x^(3/2)/B^(1/2)]]
----------
Cheers,
