Question 82169: The following log problem [log (base 7) (argument =7)= y ]can be "solved with a generalization": y = 1 when the base and the argument are the same number.
Is there are generalization that can be used to solve a log problem like
[9 log (base 9) (arguement = 54) = y] ??

----------------------
9[log54/log9] = y
9[1.815464877] = y
y = 16.33918389...
