Solve the logarithmic equation. log (3 - 5x) = 1 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice x = (Simplify your answer. Use a comma to separate answers as needed) There is no solution.
Solution
We have log(3-5x) = 1 so that (3-5x) = 10 ( if we take logarithm of both the sides of (3-5x) = 0, we heve log(3-5x) = log 10=1).
Thus, (3-5x) = 10 so that 5x = 3-10 = -7. Hence x = -7/5.
