Assume this is the problem
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%5E%28%28x-8%29%29+%2B+20+=+295\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 20 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%5E%28%28x-8%29%29+=+275\"
\n" ); document.write( "using natural logs
\n" ); document.write( "\"ln%287%5E%28%28x-8%29%29%29+=+ln%28275%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "the log equiv of exponents
\n" ); document.write( "(x-8)*ln(7) = ln(275)
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by ln(7)
\n" ); document.write( "x - 8 = \"ln%28275%29%2Fln%287%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "use the calc
\n" ); document.write( "x - 8 = 2.88645
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.88645 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10.88645
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this, replace x with 10.88645 in the original equation, use your calc\r
