OK, so to solve you are going to take the natural log of both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do I do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ln 7 = ln 27.09
Divide both sides by ln 7
ln 7/ln 7 = ln 27.09/ln 7

1=1.70

your answer would be approx 1.70
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you understand how I got that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes:)

One second I'm going to try another one and send it to you to see if I'm right...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have no idea how to do this one....

it is similar to the last problem you had so you take the natural log of 5.5 and round your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
.89?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is not what I got... it is approximately 1.70
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you put in your calculator ln(5.5) since that is what you are trying to solve?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay I pushed enter after..

You would need to do the opposite of \[e^x\] to both sides

So divide?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Opposite of that would be \[Ln\] so take the natural log of both sides
