To solve this equation, we need to use the inverse of the logarithm function. The inverse of the logarithm function is the exponential function.

Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as: 2x = 10^(-1)

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = 10^(-1) / 2

x = 0.5

To check our answer, we can plug it back into the original equation and see if it is true:
Log2(0.5) = -1

Since this is true, our answer is correct.

Hope this helps:)
