Answer:

x = 6

See image.

Explanation:

Logarithms are just another way to write exponents. The base on the logarithm that is the small font subscript IS the base (normal font/on the line) of an exponential equation. The "answer" in the logarithmic equation is the exponent (small font/superscript) .It is just a triple shuffle. When the logarithmic equation cant be worked on to solve it, CHANGE IT to exponential form. See image.
