Getting rid off the logarithms in an equation to simplify
ok, I'm having trouble solving for equations when logarithms are involved. I know a little bit about logarithm rules but in equations I'm lost. example:
$$\frac{1}{b}\ln{y}=\frac{1}{a}\ln{x}+c$$
I can take $b$ to the other side: $$\ln{y}=\frac{b}{a}\ln{x}+bc$$
I know you can solve for $y$ by incorporating $e$ to both sides of the equation. and there's where I have trouble with.
How you add $e$ to the right side ?

Note: $\ln p = q \implies p = e^q$
$$ y = e^{\frac{b}{a}\ln x + bc} = e^{\ln x^{\frac{b}{a}}}\cdot e^{bc}$$
$$ y = x^\frac{b}{a}e^{bc}$$
Note: $e^{\ln m} = m$
