Solve the logarithmic equation for x. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
log(x − 8) = 2
Solve for x: log(x - 8)/log(10) = 2
Multiply both sides by log(10): log(x - 8) = 2 log(10)
2 log(10) = log(10^2) = log(100): log(x - 8) = log(100)
Cancel logarithms by taking exp of both sides: x - 8 = 100
Add 8 to both sides: x = 108
In exponential form we have
10^2 = x - 8
100 = x - 8 add 8 to both sides
108 = x
