<u>Given</u>:
The given expression is
We need to determine the value of x using either base - 10 or base - e logarithms.
<u>Value of x:</u>
Let us determine the value of x using the base - e logarithms.
Applying the log rule that if then
Thus, we get;
Applying the log rule, , we get;
Expanding, we get;
Subtracting both sides by , we get;
Subtracting both sides by , we get;
Taking out the common term x, we have;
Thus, the value of x is
