\[S=75-6\ln{(t+1)}\]\[S=62 = 75 - 6\ln{(t+1)}\]\[13=6\ln{(t+1})\]\[\frac{13}{6}=\ln{(t+1)}\]Raise e to both sides to eliminate ln\[e^{\frac{13}{6}}=t+1\]\[t = e^{\frac{13}{6}}-1 \approx 7.73\] Should be able to express t in terms of S by following steps above. \[S=75-6\ln{(t+1)}\] \[S-75=-6\ln{(t+1)}\] \[-\frac{(S-75)}{6} = \ln{(t+1)}\] \[e^{-\frac{(S-75)}{6}} = t+1\] Solve for t :-)

nicely explained @whpalmer4

How to continue from e^(−(S−75)/6)=t+1, I don't know how...

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

How about subtracting 1 from each side, leaving you with an expression for t in terms of S? :-) e is the base of the natural logarithm (= 2.71828...), not something you need to find.

I misread the question, oops! But thank you anyway :)
