Combine logs using product property: Combine the logs on the left side using the product property of logarithms, which states that logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(mn).31log(x)+log(3)=log(331x).
Simplify by raising 3: Simplify the left side by raising 3 to the power of 31.log(331⋅x)=log(331⋅x).
Set equal to right side: Set the simplified left side equal to the right side. log(331⋅x)=log(5).
Arguments must be equal: Since the logs are equal, their arguments must be equal. 331⋅x=5.
Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 31/3. x=31/35.
