Q. Consider the equation 0.75⋅103w=30.Solve the equation for w. Express the solution as a logarithm in base−10.w=□Approximate the value of w. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.w≈
Isolate 10w/3: Isolate 10w/3 by dividing both sides by 0.75.0.75⋅10w/3=3010w/3=0.753010w/3=40
Apply logarithm base−10: Apply the logarithm base−10 to both sides to solve for w/3.log10(10w/3)=log10(40)w/3=log10(40)
Multiply by 3: Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for w.w=3×log10(40)
Calculate log10(40): Calculate log10(40) using a calculator.log10(40)≈1.602
Substitute value for w: Substitute the value back into the equation for w.w=3×1.602w≈4.806
