I got two more questions... the first one is:

log10^(x)=1... I got x=10


The second one I am having trouble on is

log10^1000=-x... I got -x=3

These are the last two I swear!!

the first one's answer is x=1 cause;
log10^x=1
xlog10=1
x=1(log10=1)

and the second one's answer is x=-1000 and its procedure is same as above!
Dude! Now be happy cause your homework is finished!

Hello NotaMathWhiz:

It's hard to tell whether you meant


log_{10} x = 1


or
log (10)^x = 1


Please clarify. If the former, then you are correct; if the later, then Rehaan is correct.

if ebaines is right then;
x=10 is the answer!
