log D = 4.03 - 5.9 + 5
_____________
5
and D=10^logD <<
Tell me how you got it and how i can do it with a calculator if different numbers were above the divided by five. |

well the actual formula is log D = (m-M + 5) whats in the brackets is on the top and then the brackets is divided by 5.
then D=10^logD |

| The format you typed it in throws me off. Otherwise, I'd be able to do it. |

Let me guess, you're doing business studies, right?
That's the only people I've ever met who can't do basic logarithms. |

| no astrophysics d is distance of galaxies and m are landmarks. |

| In that case you should consider switching to business studies. |

so basically:
log D = (4.03 - 5.9 + 5)/5
and you want to find out D ?

why would i switch to something unrelated that i have no interest in? |

Because I can't, for the life of me, see where the problem lies. You have a simple formula with one unknown and even the definition of the logarithm is spelled out for you.
So if that is too hard already then you're either trolling or astrophysics really isn't for you. |
