Given: $\"7.6%5E%28X-1%29+=+431\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the natural log of both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28X-1%29%2Aln%287.6%29+=+ln%28431%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by ln(7.6)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X-1+=+%28ln%28431%29%29%2F%28ln%287.6%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 1 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28X+=+%28ln%28431%29%29%2F%28ln%287.6%29%29+%2B+1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28X+=+3.991%29\"$ (rounded) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
