At first glance, this problem can look a little bit complicated
and intimidating. A good way to make it easier to solve is to
break it down:
Step 1- Solve the logarithm.
Step 2- Prove the resulting identity.

same as the Base of the Argument. If this is the case, no
matter what the Exponent of the Argument is, the entire
logarithm is equal to the Exponent of the Argument.
