With the use of logarithms, it is possible to solve for any one variable in terms of the other two. Note how the blue text and arrows indicate exponentiation, while the red indicates the typical reverse of that — roots. The logarithmic relationship, in green, illustrates how one may be resolved in terms of the others. This is what logarithms do, algebraically. It is a highly useful tool in rearranging and manipulating algebraic expressions. The subscripted number is the base of the logarithm, because it is also the base of the exponential.
