I haven't done ln or log stuff in a long while lol idk...
umm...
divide both sides by 3
convert to ln... then plug into calculator.

|dw:1384223126350:dw| @satellite73 this is what i have so far

anonymous · Answer

that is wrong

anonymous · Answer

$$3e^x=29\
e^x=\frac{29}{3}\
x=\ln(\frac{29}{3})$$

jigglypuff314 · Answer

divide both sides by 3
you get e^x = 29/3
covert to log or ln
so ln(29/3) = 2.27
