You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You're good so far with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-6+=+log%2810%2C+%28y%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The next step is to rewrite the equation in exponential form. (That is how you get rid of the log.) In general $\"log%28a%2C+%28p%29%29+=+q\"$ is equivalent to $\"p+=+a%5Eq\"$ . Using this pattern on your equation we get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%5E%28%28x-6%29%29+=+y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is the inverse. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
