x=1, 10^sqrt3, 10^-sqrt3103,103

Explanation:

log(x^3)= 3log xlog(x3)=3logx

3log x= (logx)^33logx=(logx)3
(log x)^3 -3logx =0(logx)33logx=0

logx ( (log x)^2-3)logx((logx)23)=0

logx=0, (logx)^2 -3=0(logx)23=0

log x=0 means x=1 and (logx )^2 -3=0(logx)23=0 would mean log x=+-sqrt3logx=±3, or x=10^sqrt3, 10^-sqrt3x=103,103
