Given , take the log base 3 of both sides to get



It's not immediate from the answer choices, but you can obtain the correct answer (which is actually A) by rewriting the value for x as (using change-of-base). , so the expression is equivalent to

 ------ log 100 = 2





 ------- Multiplying right-side by LCD, log 3
