What are the exponents?
\n" ); document.write( "5^(x+1) = e^(x-1) ?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1)*ln(5) = x-1
\n" ); document.write( "x*ln(5) + ln(5) = x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "x*ln(5) - x = -1 - ln(5)
\n" ); document.write( "x*(ln(5) - 1) = -1 - ln(5)
\n" ); document.write( "x = (1 + ln(5))/(1 - ln(5))
\n" ); document.write( "x =~ -4.28171
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
