Answer:

To find : The error in the solution and what additional step needs to be completed?

Solution : The mistake is the step 3 and additional step need to be added after it.

Step 1 - \log x -\log_5 3 = 2\log_5 3logx−log

5

3=2log

5

3

Step 2 - \log x = 3\log_5 3logx=3log

5

3

Step 3 - \log x =\log_5 3^3logx=log

5

3

3

Step 4 - \log x=\log_5 27logx=log

5

27

Applying change base rule of logarithmic, \log_b a=\frac{\log a}{\log b}log

b

a=

logb

loga

Step 5 - \log x=\frac{\log 27}{\log 5}logx=

log5

log27

Step 6 - \log x=\frac{1.431}{0.698}logx=

0.698

1.431

Step 7 - \log x=2.050logx=2.050

Step 8 - x=10^{2.050}x=10

2.050

Step 9 - x=112.20x=112.20

From step 4 to 9 is the required steps.
