The trick is to convert +1+ to a log
+1+=+log%28+10+%29+
+log%28x%29+-+log%286%29+=+log%28+10+%29+
+log%28%28+x%2F6+%29%29+=+log%28+10+%29+
+x%2F6+=+10+
+x+=+60+
--------------
check:
+log%28x%29+-+log%286%29+=+log%28+10+%29+
+log%2860%29+-+log%286%29+=+log%28+10+%29+
use calculator:
+1.77815+-+.77815+=+1+
+1+=+1+
OK
