You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming that your log refers to common logarithms, log base 10, you might write your equation in this form:
log%2810%2C+log+x%29+=+1

Translating into exponential form, this reads:
10%5E+1+=+log+x+

10+=+log+x+ actually means 10+=+log+%2810%2C+x%29

Translate this back into exponential form:
10%5E10+=+x Final answer!

If you have a calculator handy, you can check this by calculating
log+%28log+10%5E10%29, and see if it comes out to 1. It does!
