log (common logarithm) means power of ten

8 x^3 = 10^4

(2 x)^3 = 10^4 ... 2 x = ∛10000
so 2x = 10∛10
x = 5∛10
i still don't get how u got 10.77 steve,i'm very confused,could u tell me how u got that because when i put that last part in the calculator it gives me a whole complete different answer
I'm getting the same answer (10.77) did you check that you put your sqrt to 3(as in ∛ not √) they are different BTW
