Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

log(4x - 10)32 is not properly formed; it's also ambiguous.

If you mean to say that (4x - 10) is the base, then you have to do the rather awkward typing shown below:

log 32 = 5

(4x - 10) (where (4x - 10) is assumed to

be the base)

log 32

(4x - 10)

Then (4x - 10) = (4x - 10)^5

or 32 = (4x - 10)^5, or

2^5 = (4x - 10)^5

which tellus us that 2 = 4x - 10, or 4x = 12, or x = 3
