Yes that is correct but most calculators can't do log base 24.     

 

24y=50log24y=log50ylog24=log50y=log50log24

 

This log can be any base so long as they are both the same base.

most calcs only do base 10 or base e  

Either of these are fine :)

 

Using the change of base law your answer can be changed very easily as well

 

logb(a)=logn(a)logn(b)
