Not sure if it's a base 6 log or base 10.
I'll solve it both ways.

Base 6:
%28x-4%29%5E2=6%5E4
%28x-4%29%5E2=36%5E2
x-4=36
x=40
.
.
Base 10:
6%28x-4%29%5E2=10%5E4
6%28x-4%29%5E2=10000
%28x-4%29%5E2=10000%2F6
x-4=100%2Fsqrt%286%29
x-4=%28100%2F6%29sqrt%286%29
x=%2850%2F3%29sqrt%286%29%2B12%2F3
x=%2850sqrt%286%29%2B12%29%2F3
