Step 1.2.1.1.1

Move $4$ to the left of $\log (10)$ .

$\log (10) x + 3 \log (10) = 4 \cdot \log (10) - \log (10) \cdot 2$

Step 1.2.1.1.2

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$\log (10) x + 3 \log (10) = 4 \log (10) - 2 \log (10)$

Step 1.2.1.2

Subtract $2 \log (10)$ from $4 \log (10)$ .

$\log (10) x + 3 \log (10) = 2 \log (10)$

Step 2

Move all the terms containing a logarithm to the left side of the equation.

$\log (10) x + 3 \log (10) - 2 \log (10) = 0$

Step 3.1

Logarithm base $10$ of $10$ is $1$ .

$1 x + 3 \log (10) - 2 \log (10) = 0$

Step 3.2

Multiply $x$ by $1$ .

$x + 3 \log (10) - 2 \log (10) = 0$

Step 3.3

Logarithm base $10$ of $10$ is $1$ .

$x + 3 \cdot 1 - 2 \log (10) = 0$

Step 3.4

Multiply $3$ by $1$ .

$x + 3 - 2 \log (10) = 0$

Step 3.5

Logarithm base $10$ of $10$ is $1$ .

$x + 3 - 2 \cdot 1 = 0$

Step 3.6

Multiply $- 2$ by $1$ .

$x + 3 - 2 = 0$

Step 4

Subtract $2$ from $3$ .

$x + 1 = 0$

Step 5

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 1$
