To solve the equation \(10 \log(1024) = 10x\), we can simplify it as follows:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 10:
\[
\log(1024) = x
\]

2. Now, we need to find \( \log(1024) \). We know that:
\[
1024 = 2^{10}
\]

Thus,
\[
\log(1024) = \log(2^{10}) = 10 \log(2)
\]

3. To evaluate \( \log(2) \), we can use a known approximation: \( \log_{10}(2) \approx 0.301 \) (you can look this up if needed).

So,
\[
\log(1024) = 10 \cdot 0.301 = 3.01 \quad (\text{approximately})
\]
But for exactness in basic logarithms:
\[
\log(1024) = 10 \quad \text{(in base 2, specifically!)}
\]

4. Therefore:
\[
x = \log(1024) = 10 \quad (\text{main result in base 10 logarithm} )
\]

Thus, the solution for \(x\) is \( x = 10\).

So the final answer from your options is:

**x = 10**
