Solve for x using logs.
Assume the problem is
=
Using natural logs we have
x*ln(8) = (x+8)*ln(e)
the ln of e is one so we have
x*ln(8) = x + 8
ln(8) =
Find the ln of 8
2.079 =
mult both sides by x
2.079x = x + 8
2.079x - x = 8
1.079x = 8
x =
x = 7.414

Check this on your calc
enter 8^7.414 = 4960314
enter e^(7.414+8) = 4945556, (log inaccuracy)
