Hi, first divide by 500:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"e%5E%280.3x%29=6%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ln%28e%5E%280.3x%29%29=ln%286%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify considering that ln(x) and e^x are inverse functions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.3x=ln%286%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So we have,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=ln%286%2F5%29%2F0.3\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
