You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not sure whether you meant:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"e%5E-3x%2B2=40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"e%5E%28-3x%2B2%29=40\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume the later:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"e%5E%28-3x%2B2%29=40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "take the ln of both sides to give:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x%2B2=ln%2840%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x=ln%2840%29-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+%28ln%2840%29-2%29%2F%28-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+1.6889%2F%28-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-0.563\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
