i found: x=b^0.8 where b is the base of your log.

Explanation:

It depends on the log's base but we can say that is, say, b, so we have:
2log_b(x)=1.6
rearranging:
2log_b(x)=16/10
log_b(x)=1/2*16/10
log_b(x)=1/cancel(2)*cancel(16)^8/10=0.8

using the definition of log:
x=b^0.8

Now you can use the appropriate b for our case:

if b=10, for example:

x=10^0.8=6.30957
