Combine logarithms: Combine the logarithms on the left side using the product rule for logarithms, which states that loga+logb=log(ab).logx+log2=log(2x)
Set equal to 2: Set the combined logarithm equal to the right side of the equation.log(2x)=2
Convert to exponential form: Convert the logarithmic equation to its exponential form. The base of the logarithm is 10 by default when no base is specified, so the equation becomes 102=2x.102=2x
Calculate 102: Calculate the value of 102.102=100
Set result equal: Set the result equal to 2x.100=2x
Divide by 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x.x=2100
Calculate x: Calculate the value of x.x=50
