Start with the given equation.


Rewrite 1 as . Recall that


Since the logs have the same base (e), this means that the arguments (the stuff inside the logs) are equal.


Formally, if , then


Use the property given above to set the arguments equal to each other.


Multiply both sides by .


Distribute.


Subtract et from both sides.


Factor out the GCF 't'.


Divide both sides by to isolate 't'.


Optional Step: You can rewrite as and notice how the negatives cancel in the numerator and denominator. So also


So the solution is


You can also write the solution as (the two are equivalent).
