You solve logarithms with exponentials, here is the relationship, assuming you mean the natural logarith of 5.

\n" ); document.write( "The base of a natural logarithm is e (the number e, 2.718...)
\n" ); document.write( "therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "log_b(x) = y
\n" ); document.write( "b^ŷ = x
\n" ); document.write( "log_e 5 = y
\n" ); document.write( "e^ŷ = 5
\n" ); document.write( "or if you want to use the numerical equivalent of e to three decimals:
\n" ); document.write( "2.718^ŷ = 5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
