$\"+15.5+=+R%5E161+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the log of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+log%28+15.5+%29+=+161%2Alog%28+R+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.19033+=+161%2Alog%28+R+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+log%28+R+%29+=+1.19033+%2F+161+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+log%28+R+%29+=+.0073934+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+R+=+10%5E.0073934+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+R+=+1.01717+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check:
