Question

Can someone help me solve this logarithm function

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{x=\dfrac{25}{2}=12.5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the logarithm function.

Put the logarithm function on one side of the equation and x on the other.

log x + log8=2

$\sf{\log _{10}(x)+\log _{10}(8)=2}$

First, subtract by log₁₀(8) from both sides.

$\sf{\log _{10}(x)+\log _{10}(8)-\log _{10}(8)=2-\log _{10}(8)}$

Solve.

$\sf{\log _{10}(x)=2-\log _{10}(8)}$

$\sf{\log _{10}(x)=2-\log _{10}(8)=\boxed{\sf{x=\dfrac{25}{2} }}$

• Therefore, the correct answer is x=25/2=12.5.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
