$log_color(red)5 y = 2 " "rArr " " color(red)5^2 = y$

log form is written as $" "log_a b = c$
exponential (index) form is $" "a^c = b$

The two forms are interchangeable.

To make it easier remember:

"The base stays the base and the other two swop around"

$log_color(red)5 y = 2 " "rArr " " color(red)5^2 = y$
