Math Challenge 18

*
From the logarithm equation below, can you determine what is the expression for y?

 log y = x + log x

You may give your answer in the comment section and also help explain how you get it (for the sake of sharing).

Thanks ^^

    Take the exponential of both sides you get
    exp(logy)=exp(x+logx)
    y=exp(x).exp(logx)
    y=x.exp(x)

    Hi Ali,

    I suppose "log y" has the number base as 10. I was expecting the answer to contain a "10" within.
