Solve for x: log16 base x÷log8 base x =3
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "logx(16) / logx(8) = 3
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "logx(16) = 3*logx(8)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "logx(16) - logx(8^3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "logx[16/8^3] = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "That implies 16/8^3 = x^0 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "That is a contradiction.
