You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think I can give you a hint and then you can solve it.
If you have a logarithm (log subscript a b), you can rewrite it with the change of base formula to any base you like:
(log subscript a b) = (log subscript x b)/(log subscript x a)) where x is any base you choose.
I recommend replacing each term above with the same new base. Once you do this, I think you will see how we can simplify the problem.
Hint: The answer is an integer :)
