SOLUTION: Please help! Solve the following exponential equation: 26 over(/)1-2e^6x = 50 I tried multiplying the denominator on the left & right, and dividing by the 50 to get this far

Question 111052: Please help! Solve the following exponential equation:
26 over(/)1-2e^6x = 50
I tried multiplying the denominator on the left & right, and dividing by the 50 to get this far: 26/50 = 1-2e^6x
I tried subtracting the one and multiplying the -2, but I wound up with Ln48/50 = 6x. My answers to that are wrong. What am I missing? How do you do this problem if I'm wrong?

first step looks good and part of the second step

you should be dividing the -2 to get ln(12/50)=6x
