1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the logarithmic equation 8+log(16x)=363log(x)8 + \log(16x) = 36 - 3\log(x) for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's isolate the logarithmic terms:
8+log(16x)=363log(x)8 + \log(16x) = 36 - 3\log(x)
log(16x)+3log(x)=368\log(16x) + 3\log(x) = 36 - 8
log(16x)+3log(x)=28\log(16x) + 3\log(x) = 28
Now, use the logarithm properties to simplify the equation. Recall that nlog(a)=log(an)n\log(a) = \log(a^n) and log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab). Thus,
log(16x)+log(x3)=28\log(16x) + \log(x^3) = 28
log(16xx3)=28\log(16x \cdot x^3) = 28
log(16x4)=28\log(16x^4) = 28
Assuming the base of the logarithm is 10, we can rewrite the equation in exponential form:
16x4=102816x^4 = 10^{28}
x4=102816x^4 = \frac{10^{28}}{16}
x4=102824x^4 = \frac{10^{28}}{2^4}
x4=(1072)4x^4 = (\frac{10^7}{2})^4
Taking the fourth root of both sides:
x=1072x = \frac{10^7}{2}
x=10,000,0002x = \frac{10,000,000}{2}
x=5,000,000x = 5,000,000
