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.
