log 2x=-1,

Since we have -1 as the log, we find its anti-log:

10^-1=.1, and now we have

2x=.1

x=.1/2=.05

x=.05

log 2x = -1

 

This says that  

 

10^-1  = 2x

 

1/10  = 2x     divide both sides by 2

 

x  = 1/20  = .05

 

 

However....if it's meant as

 

log2 x = -1

 

This says that   2^(-1)  = x   = 1/2

 

 

cool cool cool
