Solve equation log (5s - 9) = r - 1 for s

Re: Solve equation for s

Please put want you want to do in the body of the text, not in the title.

I will step through this one. That way you can have an idea how to solve the others. OK?.

Solve for s:

\(\displaystyle log(5s-9)=r-1\)

Since it would appear we are working in base 10 logs, take them to a power of ten on both sides:

\(\displaystyle 10^{log(5s-9)}=10^{r-1}\)

On the left, this cancels the 10 and log and we're left with:

\(\displaystyle 5s-9=10^{r-1}\)

Now, finish?. The rest is very basic algebra.
