To solve for x in the equation log(2x + 1) = 3, we need to rewrite it in exponential form.
log(2x + 1) = 3 can be rewritten as 10^3 = 2x + 1.
This simplifies to 1000 = 2x + 1.
Subtracting 1 from both sides gives us:
999 = 2x.
Dividing by 2 on both sides gives us:
x = 999/2 or x = 499.5.
Therefore, x = 499.5.
