You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"+log%2810%29+=+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You have to read equations like this carefully.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that logs are exponents
\n" ); document.write( "The left side is saying that the right side is a log
\n" ); document.write( "which is an exponent, so $\"x\"$ is a log.
\n" ); document.write( "The base is assumed to be $\"10\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "So far you have $\"10%5Ex\"$ . This is equal to
\n" ); document.write( "whatever is in the parentheses, or $\"10\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "So you have $\"10%5Ex+=+10\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "So, $\"x\"$ must be $\"1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+20%2A+log%2810%29+=+20%2A1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"20%2A1+=+20\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
