\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "            The most simple reasoning is  THIS :\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"log%283%2C%289x%29%29\" = \"log%283%2C%289%29%29\" + \"log%283%2C%28x%29%29\" = 2 + 8 = 10.    ANSWER\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "On the way, I used two facts:  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This solution shown in my post is what the problem and the teacher do expect from you.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Comparing with the solution by @mananth, the advantage of this solution is
\n" ); document.write( "that I do not make no one excessive calculation and use the most straightforward economic way.\r
