Solution 1
By properties of logarithms, we can simplify the given equation to . Let us break this into two separate equations:
We multiply the two equations to get:
Also by properties of logarithms, we know that ; thus, . Therefore, our equation simplifies to:
~Technodoggo
Solution 2
Convert the two equations into exponents:
Take to the power of :
Plug this into :
So

Solution 3
Similar to solution 2, we have:
and
Take the tenth root of the first equation to get
Substitute into the second equation to get
This means that , or , meaning that . ~MC413551
