There is no real result, but maybe there is a typo.
1408=246(1-e^(-9.61*10^-7t)) does not look good as ,
but I could write it as
To solve, the equation could be transformed to
-->-->
That cannot be true for any value of the variable because exponential functions are always positive: .
That would make the right side of the equation negative, and the left side is positive.

Curves of the type
Have and asymptotically approach as increases.
If the equation was ,
then the graph of would look like this:
and we could solve it like this:
