What is the solution set of 5^(x-1) = e^(x+1)?
-----
Take the natural log of both sides to get:
(x-1)ln(5) = x+1
-----
x(ln(5)-1) = 1+ln(5)
-----
x = (ln(5)+1)/(ln(5)-1)
-----
x = 4.2817...
===========================

What is the solution set of ln(x)=12/ln(x)-4?
ln(x)[ln(x)-4] = 12
---
(ln(x))^2 - 4ln(x) - 12 = 0
-----
Factor:
(ln(x)-6)(ln(x)+2) = 0
----
ln(x) = 6 or ln(x) = -2
----
x = e^6 or x = e^(-2)
