The base of the logarithm (the small number that is a subscript) is 2.
So as an exponential expression, the base would be 2.
Any logarithm is = to the power, since the log = 3, the exponent is 3. So that means we have 23
And all that is left is to let it equal the only number we have not yet used: 23 = 8
