+log%28+3+%29+=+log%28+15%2F5+%29+
+log%28+15%2F5+%29+=+log%28+15+%29+-+log%28+5+%29++
+log%28+3+%29+=+2.708+-+1.609+
+log%28+3+%29+=+1.099+
-------------------
+log%28+9+%29+=+log+%28+3%5E2+%29+
+log%28+9+%29+=+2%2Alog%28+3+%29+
+log%28+9+%29+=+2%2A1.099+
+log%28+9+%29+=+2.198+
-----------------
I don't know what the base is, but it
can't be +10+, because +10%5E2.708+
is close to +1000+, not +15+
