assuming the base is 12x
log%2812x%2C+%284.25%29%29+=+0.3946...change to base 10
+log%28%284.25%29%29%2Flog%2812x%29+=+0.3946
log%28%284.25%29%29=+0.3946log%2812x%29+
log%28%284.25%29%29=+log%28%2812x%29%5E0.3946%29+
4.25=%2812x%29%5E0.3946
4.25=12%5E0.3946%2Ax%5E0.3946
4.25=2.6659065376763404%2Ax%5E0.3946
x%5E0.3946=4.25%2F2.6659065376763404
x%5E0.3946=1.594204425375...plug in calculator
x≈3.26054
