x = 5
Condense the left side.
log x(3x-13)=1
Put a base 10 on each side to clear the log.
x(3x-13)=10
3x^2-13x-10=0
Factoring you get x=5 and x=-2/3. The domain for log is x>0 so the -2/3 is an extraneous solution.

The solutions for \(\log x + \log (3\cdot x - 13) = 1\) are \(x_{1} = 5\) and \(x_{2} = -\frac{2}{3}\), respectively.

In this question, we are going to solve for \(x\) with the help of Logarithm Properties, which are described in the image attached below.

\(\log x + \log (3\cdot x - 13) = 1\)

\(\log [x\cdot (3\cdot x - 13)] = 1\)

\(\log (3\cdot x^{2}-13\cdot x) = 1\)

\(10^{\log(3\cdot x^{2}-13\cdot x)} = 10^{1}\)

\(3\cdot x^{2}-13\cdot x = 10\)

\(3\cdot x^{2}-13\cdot x -10 = 0\)

This is a Second Order Polynomial, which can be solved by Quadratic Formula:

\(x_{1} = 5\) and \(x_{2} = -\frac{2}{3}\)

The solutions for \(\log x + \log (3\cdot x - 13) = 1\) are \(x_{1} = 5\) and \(x_{2} = -\frac{2}{3}\), respectively.
