We don't have our inside, so we don't have our y. So we're in a situation where we can't solve in this form for the y. What we must do is we must convert from this form to the exponent form. So the equivalent way of writing logs and exponents is taking our base, base x, writing it here. Okay then taking our exponents, our exponent and writing it here but wait, we have a negative log. So this negative, we bring it over to here.
