put this solution on YOUR website!The second line is right. It's good to use the log property log a + log b = log (ab). So, the equation then would be:

<---- Both logs are base 10, and so you can just set whatever you're finding the log of equal to each other:

<--- move 500x to the left

<---- Just by looking at this x=0 or x=1/2. We would throw out the x=0 because you can't find the log of 0. (If you have, for example

, that would translate to the exponential form

. And there is no such number for x that will make

zero.)
