Logarithms

Solve the equation

Step 1. Use Power of a Power Property to convert to a single log.

Step 2. Use the inverse operation of exponents on both sides of the equals sign. Since the common log has a base of 10, use an exponential base of 10.

Step 3. Since logs and exponents are inverses, the exponent base and the log base cancel.

Step 4 . Solve for x.
