Ok, let's establish what you know about logs and exponential statements and work from there.

if 2^3 = 8 then what can you write as a log equivalent?

I'm not sure, I've not wrote things as log equivalents before

Do you not know what logs mean at all?

I couldn't define it but I can solve other log equations, I'm just stuck on these ones because my calculator just comes up with an error

Neither of these require a calculator

Are you self teaching?

ab=ca^b = c

Is the same as

loga(c)=b\log _a(c) = b
