The e is e^5x
OpenStudy (photon336):
isolate e^5x first
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
e^5x=22.1-100.1
OpenStudy (photon336):
\[e^{5x} = 78\]

Ok, so do I ln it now??
OpenStudy (photon336):
yes take the ln of both sides and show me your work
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
ln e^5x=78 ln
Then I know it needs to be a fraction at one point but Im not exactly sure how to extract the 5 from that power
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
Im pretty sure the answer is lm78/ln5but I just dont know how to get there
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
ln*** sorry

\[\ln(e^{5x}) = 5x | this~is~a~general~rule | \ln(e^{x}) = x \]
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
OHHH! Haha! I see :)
OpenStudy (photon336):
now solve for x
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
Hmmm, Do i make it into the fraction now? or divide

\[5x = \ln(78)\]
OpenStudy (photon336):
you had to take the ln of both sides
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
hmm ok
OpenStudy (photon336):
now what do you do?
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
Get the 5 on the same side??

show me
OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):
you make the 5 ln and then make it into a fraction (5 being on the bottom)
OpenStudy (photon336):
hey can you use the equation bar?
\[5x = \ln(78)\]
\[x = ?\]
