Trying to solve e to the power of (5x-1)=(e to the power of 3)to the power of x.
\n" ); document.write( "e^(5x-1)=e^3^x=e^3x
\n" ); document.write( "in an equality, when the base(e) is the same, you can equate the exponents
\n" ); document.write( "5x-1=3x
\n" ); document.write( "2x=1
\n" ); document.write( "x=1/2 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
