\"+P%28x%29+=+8%2A3%5Ex+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the log to the base \"+3+\" of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+log%28+3+%2C+P%28x%29+%29+=+log%28+3+%2C+8+%29+%2B+log%28+3+%2C+3%5Ex+%29+\"

\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You can find the log to the base \"+10+\" of both sides
