how many times do they intersect

  Assuming to the base to be 10!
  
  y = log10x , for x= 1 , y= 1.
  for x = 10 , y = 2
  for x = 100 , y = 3.
  
  for other values of y viz. for x = 2 , y = 1.3 ,x = 3 y=1.47 so on until x = 10 the value lies below 2.
  
  
  y = x -1 for x=1 , y = 0
  x = 2 y =1 ,
  for x = 10 , y = 9
  
  
  So the two curves intersect only once at the value of x >2 and <3.
  
  Asssuming the logarithm is to the base 10.
