You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We apply the rule y = log_a (x) to your question.
We just need to express it using the rule above. The question does not request for us to solve for any variable.
You were given log_16 (64).
Let x = 64 and a = 16.
The word log is replaced by y.
64 = 16^(y)
