e%5E%28x%2F9%29-8=6 Start with the given equation.


e%5E%28x%2F9%29=6%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


e%5E%28x%2F9%29=14 Combine like terms.


x%2F9=ln%2814%29 Take the natural log of both sides to eliminate the base "e"


x=9%2Aln%2814%29 Multiply both sides by 9 to isolate x.


So the answer is x=9%2Aln%2814%29 which approximates to x=23.75152
