I need to know what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help! Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I need to know how to get the log for the following equation:
478 = 18.5(10^x)
478/18.5=10^x
take log of both sides
log(478/18.5)=log(10^x)=x (log of base raised to x=x)
by calculator
x=log(478/18.5)=1.4123
