Answer:
`\textsf{x = 1000}`

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
`\textsf{log(x) = 3}`

Find:
`\textsf{The value of x}`

Solution: In order to solve for x we need to get rid of the log which means that we need to put it to the power of the same number as the base. When a base isn't displayed it defaults to 10 so we raise everything to the base of 10.

Get rid of log

• 
  `10^{\textsf{log}_(10)\textsf{(x)}}} = 10^{\textsf{3}}`

• 
  `x = 10^{\textsf{3}}`

• 
  `x = 1000`

Therefore, the final answer would be that x is equal to 1000.
