what is x in each problem ? 1.) 6-log1/2x=3
2.) log (4x-3) +6 = 4
3.) 2/3log5x =2
4.) 2log 250x-6 =4
5.) 5-2logx=1/2
the base for each log is 10
1)
Solve for x:
6 + (log(4 x - 3))/(log(10)) = 4
Subtract 6 from both sides:
(log(4 x - 3))/(log(10)) = -2
Multiply both sides by log(10):
log(4 x - 3) = -2 log(10)
-2 log(10) = log(1/10^2) = log(1/100):
log(4 x - 3) = log(1/100)
Cancel logarithms by taking exp of both sides:
4 x - 3 = 1/100
Add 3 to both sides:
4 x = 301/100
Divide both sides by 4:
Answer: |x = 301/400
