Logarithm Equation 3036Aa
1. **State the problem:** Solve for $x$ in the equation $7.19 = 6.1 + \log\left(\frac{6}{0.3x}\right)$.
2. **Isolate the logarithm:** Subtract 6.1 from both sides:
$$7.19 - 6.1 = \log\left(\frac{6}{0.3x}\right)$$
$$1.09 = \log\left(\frac{6}{0.3x}\right)$$
3. **Recall the logarithm definition:** If $\log(a) = b$, then $a = 10^b$. So,
$$\frac{6}{0.3x} = 10^{1.09}$$
4. **Calculate $10^{1.09}$:**
$$10^{1.09} \approx 12.3$$
5. **Set up the equation:**
$$\frac{6}{0.3x} = 12.3$$
6. **Solve for $x$:** Multiply both sides by $0.3x$:
$$6 = 12.3 \times 0.3x$$
$$6 = 3.69x$$
Divide both sides by 3.69:
$$x = \frac{6}{3.69} \approx 1.63$$
**Final answer:**
$$x \approx 1.63$$
