Question

Explain the error in the solution below. What

additional step needs to be completed?
log x - log5^3 = 2log5^3
log x = 3log5 ^3
log x = log5 3^3.
x = 27

Answer 1

x = 1953125

Explanation:

log x - log 5^3 = 2 log 5^3

log x - 3 log 5 = 6 log 5

log x = 9 log 5 = log 5^9

x = 5^9

x = 1953125
