log%28%28x+%2B+8%29%29+=+1+%2B+log%28%28x+-+10%29%29... since base is 10, we can write 1 as log%28%2810%29%29
log%28%28x+%2B+8%29%29+=+log%28%2810%29%29+%2B+log%28%28x+-+10%29%29
log%28%28x+%2B+8%29%29+=+log%28%2810%28x+-+10%29%29%29...if log same, we have
%28x+%2B+8%29+=+10%28x+-+10%29...solve for x
x+%2B+8+=+10x+-+100
100%2B8+=+10x-x
108+=+9x
x=12
