How do I solve the equation:

4^Y=8

in a step by step way?
TIA.

Ok;



Insert log on both sides:



You could have used 'ln' also, but let's do it with log.
Now, you know that you can 'put the index as multiplication' in front of the log like that:



Then, divide both sides by log 4:





Now, you can enter this in your calculator, or if you want to simplify further,

Thank you so much!

You're welcome! :)
