Answer:

Explanation:

Find the log of both the equation and the expression:

b log a = log x this can be solved for log a in terms of log x:

log x

log a = ------------

b

"Name" the second expression "y." Then y = a^26 and log y = 26 log a.

log x

Then log y = 26--------------

b

and the expression a^26 is found by taking the antilog of both sides of log y:

log y log x

10 = y = 10^(26----------)

b
