<s>[INST] Combination of logarithms and exponents I am given this question and told to solve for $a,b,c$:
$$\frac{y^{8a}x^{b}\log_x(y^{8a})}{2x^2y^c} = \frac{y^{3/2}\ln(y)}{3\ln(x)}$$
I tried to convert all the logarithms to $\ln$ and remove the $\frac{\ln(x)}{\ln(y)}$ term from both sides of the equation, but eventually I am stuck as this expression has 2 variables $x,y$ which are unknowns.
I got a final form $8ay^{8a-c-3/2} = 2x^{2-b}$, thus concluding that $a=1/4$, but from there I do not know how to continue on.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. 
 [/INST] $$\frac{y^{8a}x^{b}\log_x(y^{8a})}{2x^2y^c} =\frac{y^{8a}}{y^c}\times\frac{x^b}{x^2}\times\frac{1}2\times\log_x (y^{8a})=y^{8a-c}\times x^{b-2}\times\frac{1}2\times\frac{\ln(y^{8a})}{\ln x}\\=y^{8a-c}\times x^{b-2}\times\frac{1}2\times \frac{8a\ln(y)}{\ln x}=y^{8a-c}\times x^{b-2}\times\frac{8a}2\times \frac{\ln y}{\ln x} $$ Now if we use the assumption we have: $$y^{8a-c}\times x^{b-2}\times\frac{8a}2\times \frac{\ln y}{\ln x}=\frac{y^{3/2}\ln(y)}{3\ln(x)}$$ so $8a-c=3/2$, $b-2=0$ and $8a/2=1/3$. This is what @pondy achieved.
