First, let a=log x
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%283%2Ca%29=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From that and the definition of a logarithm,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%5E%281%29=a\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now substitute the value for a from the first line,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%2810%2Cx%29=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=1000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
