You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the expression is:

1/8 * log(x) - log(y)

1/8 * log(x) = log(x^(1/8))

expression becomes log(x^(1/8)) - log(y)

log(x^(1/8)) - log(y) becomes log(x^(1/8)/y)

that's your solution.

x^(1/8) is the same as the 8th root of x.

for example:

2^8 = 256

256^(1/8) = 2
