Answer:


log_2(10)

how to find

Simplify the equation using logarithms.

part 1


2^3x=10


log_1_0(2^3x)=log_1_0(10)

log rule ⇩


log_a(x^y)=y*log_a(x)

move exponent out of log.


x*log_1_0(2)=log_1_0(10)

part 2

isolate variable further


x*log_1_0(2)=log_1_0(10)


x=(log_(10)(10))/(log_(10)(2))

formula for combining logs. ⇩


\frac {log_b(x)}{log_b(a)}=log_a(x)

the result ⇩


x=log_2(10)
