Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply both 2.3 x 1.98, you get 4.55

step-by-step explanation:

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
