The value of x will be equal to 2.477.
<h3>What is a logarithm?</h3>
The logarithm is the inverse function of exponentiation in mathematics. That is, the logarithm of a given number x is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base b, must be raised in order to obtain that number x.
The given expression will be solved as follows;-
Taking Log on both sides.
(x-2) Log5 = Log 8
( x-2) = Log8 / Log 5
(x - 2) = Log 8 - Log 5
(x - 2 ) = Log 3
x-2 = 0.477
x = 2.477
Therefore the value of x will be equal to 2.477.

Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
= 1 * 4 dollars
= 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
= 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and
the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.
