Algebra Examples

\log (2 x) = 3

$\log (2 x) = 3$

Step 1

For logarithmic equations,

\log_{b} (x) = y

$\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to

b^{y} = x

$b^{y} = x$ such that

x > 0

$x > 0$ ,

b > 0

$b > 0$ , and

b \neq 1

$b \neq 1$ . In this case,

b = 10

$b = 10$ ,

x = 2 x

$x = 2 x$ , and

y = 3

$y = 3$ .

b = 10

$b = 10$

x = 2 x

$x = 2 x$

y = 3

$y = 3$

Step 2

Substitute the values of

b

$b$ ,

x

$x$ , and

y

$y$ into the equation

b^{y} = x

$b^{y} = x$ .

10^{3} = 2 x

$10^{3} = 2 x$
