Answer

Solution set = $\{ 0.01,100 \}$

Work Step by Step

$3|\log x|-6=0$ $3|\log x|=6$ $|\log x|=2\qquad $ ...$|\log x|=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x, & \log x\geq 0\\ -x, & \log x\lt 0 \end{array}\right.$ $\left[\begin{array}{lll} \log x=-2 & or & \log x=2\\ x=10^{-2}=0.01 & & x=10^{2}=100 \end{array}\right]$ Solution set = $\{ 0.01,100 \}$
