Answer:

Consider the equation: \log (3x-1) = \log_2 8

Since, the functions: \log (3x-1) has a base of 10 and \log_2 8 has a base of 2.

By logarithmic properties:

\log_a x = \log_a y

⇒x = y

Since, these logarithmic functions have different bases they does not satisfy the logarithmic properties

⇒(3x-1) \neq 8

Solve the equation:  \log (3x-1) = \log_2 8

By Properties of logarithmic:

\log_a x^n = n \log _a x

\log_b b = 1

\log_b x = a ⇒ x = b^a

Using these properties to solve the given equation as shown below:

\log (3x-1) = \log_2 2^3

\log (3x-1) =3 \log_2 2

\log (3x-1) = 3

(3x-1) = 10^3

(3x-1) = 1000

Therefore, (3x -1) is equal to 1000
