Answer: x log[5] = log[125]

Explanation:

The original expression is 125 = 5^x

To express that as a logarithmic equation take logarithms on both sides:

log [125] = [log 5^x]

By the properties of the logartims of powers that is:

log [125] = x log[5]

And that is the equation required.

If you want to solve it, you can do 125 = 5^2, and apply the same property (logarithm of a power) to the left side, yielding to:

log [5^2 ]= x log[5]

=> 2 log[5] = x log[5]

=> 2 = x

SOVA2 [1]

33. Someone is reading a book that is 347 pages long. But he or she is already on page 203.Now, let’s find the percentage rate of the remaining number of pages. => 347 pages = 100% => 203 is the pages that he or she already read. Solve: => 347 – 203 = 144 pages left. Now, let’s find the percentage of 144 pages out of 347 pages => 144 / 347 = 0.41 => 0.41 * 100% = 41% Thus, he or she still need to read around 41% of the book
