I tried this:

Explanation:

Let us rearrange it and use our values:

log_(10)x=y/alog10x=ya

log_(10)x=3/2log10x=32

use the definition of log:

x=10^(3/2)x=1032

use the property of exponents:

x=sqrt(10^3)x=103

giving:

x=10sqrt(10)=31.62x=1010=31.62

x approx 31.622777x31.622777

Explanation:

3 = 2log_10 x3=2log10x

log_10 x= 3/2log10x=32

x= 10 ^(3/2)x=1032

x approx 31.622777x31.622777
