$\log (87) (x)$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log (87)$ as $\log (3 (29))$ .

$\log (3 (29)) x$

Step 2

Rewrite $\log (3 (29))$ as $\log (3) + \log (29)$ .

$(\log (3) + \log (29)) x$

Step 3

Apply the distributive property.

$\log (3) x + \log (29) x$

Step 4

Reorder factors in $\log (3) x + \log (29) x$ .

$x \log (3) + x \log (29)$
