AI Thread Summary
In the equation y = log x, when y equals 10, x can be calculated as 10 raised to the power of 10. This means x equals 10^10. The logarithm function essentially converts exponential relationships, where log x indicates the power to which the base (10) must be raised to obtain x. Therefore, the solution to the problem is x = 10,000,000,000. Understanding the definition of logarithms is crucial for solving such equations.

y=log x means 10^y=x. So, y=10 means x=10^10
