log of 18 to the base 12=a
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%2812%2C18%29+=+a\"
\n" ); document.write( "exponent equiv of logs
\n" ); document.write( "\"12%5Ea+=+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "a*log(12) = log(18)
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"log%2818%29%2Flog%2812%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "a = 1.16317
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "log of 54 to the base 24=b
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%2824%2C54%29+=+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"24%5Eb+=+54\"
\n" ); document.write( "b*log(24) = log(54)
\n" ); document.write( "b = \"log%2854%29%2Flog%2824%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = 1.25517
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "then 5(a-b) + ab is?
\n" ); document.write( "5(1.16317 - 1.25517) + (1.16317*1.25517) = ?, leave this math for you
\n" ); document.write( "see if you get about 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
