x = 2.395x=2.395

Explanation:

Log form and index form are interchangeable.

log_a b = c hArr a^c = blogab=cac=b

Let log_6 73 = x hArr 6^x = 73log673=x6x=73

The variable is in the index, so we need logs.

log6^x = log73log6x=log73

x log6 = log73xlog6=log73

x = log73/log6x=log73log6

x = 2.395x=2.395
