Question

Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
0.3 - log x

Answer 1

Explanation:

I assume the equation is:

0.3 - log(x) = 0

To solve for x, we can add log(x) to both sides of the equation:

0.3 - log(x) + log(x) = 0 + log(x)

Simplifying the left side gives us:

0.3 = log(x)

Now we can use the definition of logarithms to rewrite this as an exponential equation:

10^0.3 = x

Using a calculator, we can evaluate 10^0.3 to be approximately 1.995. Therefore, the solution for x rounded to the nearest hundredth is:

x ≈ 1.99
