Question

Solve log 5x = 3
A)
B)
C)
D)

Answer 1

200

Explanation:

log a is the same thing as:
`log_(10){a}=b` which can be rewritten as
`10^b=a` and in general logarithms are in the form
`log_ba=c` which can be written as
`b^c=a`

Rewrite into exponential form

`10^3=5x`

Simplify exponent

`1000=5x`

Divide by 5

x=200
