$x\approx3.981$

In exponential form, the given logarithmic equation, $ \log x =0.6 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \log_{10} x =0.6 \\\\ x=10^{0.6} .\end{array} Hence, the value of the variable that satisfies the given equation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x\approx3.981 .\end{array}
