     Solve the equation. Write the answer in terms of the common logarithm.  2  10^1 - x = 5  The solution set is {  }.  (Type an exact answer in simplified form. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) 
  
  Solution
2*10^(1-x) = 5
Divide by 2 both sides :
 10^(1 - x) = 5/2
So, 1 - x = log(2.5)
So, -x = log(2.5) - 1
Negating :
 x = 1 - log(2.5) ----> ANSWER
