\ln (y)=\ln (10x)+\ln (C)

Using the property of the addition of logs:


\begin{gathered} \log _z(xy)=\log _z(x)+\log _z(y) \\ so\colon \\ \ln (10x)+\ln (C)=\ln (10x\cdot C)=\ln (10Cx) \end{gathered}
\ln (y)=\ln (10Cx)

Take the exponential function of both sides:


\begin{gathered} e^(\ln (y))=e^(\ln (10Cx)) \\ y=10Cx \end{gathered}
