If log10 5 + log10 (5x + 1) = log10 (x + 5) + 1, then x is equal to:

A. 1 B. 3
C. 5 D. 10

Read Solution (Total 1)

log10 5 + log10 (5x + 1) = log10 (x + 5) + 1

log10 5 + log10 (5x + 1) = log10 (x + 5) + log10 10

log10 [5 (5x + 1)] = log10 [10(x + 5)]

5(5x + 1) = 10(x + 5)

5x + 1 = 2x + 10

3x = 9

x = 3.
