log%283%2C%28243%29%29%22%22=%22%22x

3%5Ex%22%22=%22%22243


Since 3x3x3x3x3 = 243

3%5Ex%22%22=%22%223%5E5

Since the bases are the same on both sides and they are positive
and not equal to 1, so we can equate the exponents and disregard
the base.

So 

x%22%22=%22%225

Therefore 

log%283%2C%28243%29%29%22%22=%22%225
