Use natural log
\n" ); document.write( "\"ln%283%5Ex%29=ln%282%5E%28x-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Aln%283%29+=+%28x-1%29ln%282%29\"==> distribute the ln(2) on the right
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Aln%283%29+=+x%2Aln%282%29+-+ln%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Aln%283%29+-+x%2Aln%282%29+=+-ln%282%29\" ==> factor out the x
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%28ln%283%29-ln%282%29%29=-ln%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%28-ln%282%29%29%2F%28ln%283%29-ln%282%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1.709511291
