Answer

$\log_{7}9=\frac{2A}{B}$

Work Step by Step

The change of base property states that: For any logarithmic bases $a$ and $b,$ and any positive number $M$. $\log_{b}M=\frac{\log_{a}M}{\log_{a}b},$ The logarithm of $M$ with base $b$ is equal to the logarithm of $M$ with any new base divided by the logarithm of $b$ with that new base. Therefore we have: $\log 3=A, \log 7=B.$ $\log_{7}9=\log_{7}3^2=2\log_{7}3=2\left(\frac{\log_{10}3}{\log_{10}7}\right)=\frac{2A}{B}$
