    log10 120 3 a log 2 x= 8 + 9 log x 2


    1 a log 7 120 =
    log10 7 Use the change of base rule.

     log a b = 
     log b a 
    log10 45
    b log 3 45 = 9
    log10 3 log 2 x= 8 +
    log 2 x
    = 3.465 (3 d.p.)
    Let log 2 x = y
    log10 19 9
    c log 2 19 = y= 8 +
    log10 2 y
    2
    = 4.248 (3 d.p.) y= 8 y + 9
    y2 − 8 y − 9 =0
    log10 3
    d log11 3 = ( y + 1)( y − 9 ) =
    0
    log10 11
    = 0.458 (3 d.p.) y= −1 or y =
    9
    When y = −1
    2 a 8 x = 14 log 2 x = −1
    Take the logarithm of both sides and x = 2−1
    simplify.

    log14
    x= When y = 9
    log 8 log 2 x = 9
    = 1.27 (3 s.f.)
    x = 29
    b 9 x = 99 = 512
    Take the logarithm of both sides and
    simplify.
    x log 9 = log 99
    log 99
    x=
    log 9
    = 2.09 (3 s.f.)

    c 12 x = 6
    Take the logarithm of both sides and
    simplify.
    x log12 = log 6
    log 6
    x=
    log12
    = 0.721 (3 s.f.)

    Let log 4 x = y log 2 x
    So log 2 x + = 2
    2 log 2 4
    y+ +3= 0
    y and since log 2 4 = 2
    y2 + 3y + 2 = 0 1
    log 2 x + log 2 x = 2
