If logx=-5 , what is x? A. -0.00005 B. 0.00001 C. 0.00005 D. -0.00001

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

do you have an answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have been doing log(-0.00005)=-5x but it still comes out as different answers other than -5

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay here's a hint \[\huge \log x \implies \log_{10} x\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

when the base is not given it is automatically 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and like subing x for the answers but I still dont see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
