rearrange the equation to isolate A. H=K+log(A/C)

This is what I've done and I keep getting it wrong. These are the steps the hint provides. Subrtract k, then take the antilog of both sides, and then multiply both sides by C. $H-K=\log{\frac{ A }{ C }}$ $10^{H-K}=\frac{ A }{C }$ I get: $10C ^{H-K}=A$

Let's pretend that H = 5, and K = 3. Furthermore, C = 5. What is $$C*10^{H-K}$$?

So, you've had a little time now, what is the value of $$5*10^{(5-3)} = 5*10^2$$ Does that suggest what your mistake was?

so it should be C*10(H-K)=a??

sorry C*10^(H-K)=A
