How do you solve this logarithmic equation? 3x-5=log (down arrow) 2 1024

What does down arrow mean

3x - 5 = log base2 1024

Log base 2 1024 can be rewritten log (base 2) 2^10

log (base 2) 2^10 =

10 * log (base 2) 2

log (base 2) 2 = 1

So 10 * log (base 2) 2 = 10

3x - 5 = 10

Add 5 to both sides

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3

x = 5
