Logarithms
Tips for solving logarithmic equations:
① For single term, change into index form. i.e., log a x  b  x  ab .
② For equation with more than one term;
 Make sure the base is the same.
log b b
 If not, change the base by using log a b  .
log b a
 Use substitution or properties to simplify the equation.
