Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Simplify the Equation
Starting with the equation:
\[
7 \log(7x) = 28
\]
we divide both sides by 7 to isolate the logarithm:
\[
\log(7x) = \frac{28}{7} = 4
\]
Step 2: Convert to Exponential Form
Next, we convert the logarithmic equation to its equivalent exponential form. The equation \(\log(7x) = 4\) can be rewritten as:
\[
7x = 10^4
\]
Step 3: Solve for \(x\)
Now, we solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 7:
\[
x = \frac{10^4}{7} = \frac{10000}{7} \approx 1428.5714
\]
Final Answer
The solution to the equation is:
\[
\boxed{x = \frac{10000}{7}}
\]
