a log is the 'undo-er' of powers, kind of like division is the 'undo-er' of multiplication. EX: 102 = 100, then log10(100) = 2 103 = 1000, then log10(1000) = 3, in this example, we are using log base 10, this is a default base and sometimes isn't even wirten. e is probably the most common base but log base e is more simply called the natural log, or ln. so in general: logx(m) = N means that xN = m so log5(125) = 3 because 53 = 125.

How do you solve log x3?

You can't solve this since it isn't an equation.There is also an ambiguity (it's hard to write math on a typewriter keyboard) - are we talking about log(x3) or maybe logx(3)?Restate the question: Simplify log(x3)Answer: 3log(x)You could explain this by saying: log(x3) = log[(x)(x)(x)] = logx + logx + logx = 3logx. The general rule is log(xn) = nlogx.
