The first step in establishing that \( \log(10^7 \cdot 5) = 7 + \log 5 \) is to rewrite the expression using addition, such that \( \log(10^7 \cdot 5) = \log(10^7) + \log(5) \).

This utilizes the logarithmic property that states \( \log(a \cdot b) = \log(a) + \log(b) \). In this case, \( a = 10^7 \) and \( b = 5 \).

After applying this property, you can then use the property of logarithms that \( \log(10^7) = 7 \), leading to the final expression of \( 7 + \log(5) \).
