Answer 1

Answer:  $\textsf{x = 1000}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: $\textsf{log(x) = 3}$

Find: $\textsf{The value of x}$

Solution:  In order to solve for x we need to get rid of the log which means that we need to put it to the power of the same number as the base.  When a base isn't displayed it defaults to 10 so we raise everything to the base of 10.

Get rid of log

• $10^{\textsf{log}_{10}\textsf{(x)}}} = 10^{\textsf{3}}$

• $x = 10^{\textsf{3}}$

• $x = 1000$

Therefore, the final answer would be that x is equal to 1000.
