Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$10^{x} = 1008 - 8$

Step 1.2

Subtract $8$ from $1008$ .

$10^{x} = 1000$

Step 2

Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.

$10^{x} = 10^{3}$

Step 3

Since the bases are the same, then two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.

$x = 3$
