how do i solve a negative logarithm

so i understand that when you use log (#)=n in your calculator its automatically solving for 10^n = #


so lets say i dont know "#". and its -log how do i solve for lets say

.551 = -log (#)

i know some properties of log lets say if i want to find 2^n = 6

i would do (log 6)/ (log 2)


but negatives are messed up


yes i know this is highschool but its been over 3 years for me since ive last done this

0.551 = -log(x)
-0.551 = log(x)
10^(-0.551) = x

?

Truly unbelievable that I was once able to solve this kind of thing. I still can't believe it.
