The answer: x = 10¹⁰ = 10,000,000,000 ↔ (ten billion).

Step-by-step explanation:
_______________________________________________

log x = y ↔ log₁₀ x = y ; ↔ log₁₀ x = 10 ; ↔ x = 10¹⁰ ;
______________________________________________
→ x = 10¹⁰ = 10,000,000,000 ↔ (ten billion).

Assuming we're working with the base 10 log, you can solve by making both sides exponents to a base of 10 (which cancels the log on the right side):


10=log x \\ 10^(10)=10^(logx) \\ x = 10^(10)
