Exponentiate both sides...

Thank you. Any chance of a solution?

What you want is one step away from what you have, so you have been given the solution already.

Now I know why this smiley is here

You know what they say about small steps and mankind, don't you?

That's right, those that take small steps, have short legs ...

Okay, I can see that you're giving me a gentle nudge to think for myself ...

I will have a bash at it ...

Any good?

The part that I'm struggling with is:

log (lambda_3i)

If (lambda_3i) is the base, then what and where is 'a' ?

It seems unlikely that is the base.

When a log is written just as log it will be intended to be either base 10 or base e.

Is this the one?

If it's then you should be making 10 the base of the exponential.

If it's then you should be making e the base of the exponential.

Yes, silly mistake. Just for completeness, I will re-post my workings.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Correct. You could simplify this using an index law if you wished.

I would appreciate your guidance with this ...

I don't think the above is appropriate, as we're not multiplying or dividing ...
