To solve the equation log 2x + log 12 = 3, we can combine the logarithms using the product rule:
log (2x)(12) = 3
log (24x) = 3
Now we can rewrite this in exponential form:
10^3 = 24x
1000 = 24x
x = 1000/24
x = 41.67
Therefore, the solution to log 2x + log 12 = 3 is x = 41.67. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, x ≈ 41.67.
So the answer is 41.67.
