You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You could use natural logs (logs to the base e).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%5E%281-x%29+=+e\" Take the ln of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281-x%29ln%286%29+=+ln%28e%29\" But ln(e) = 1, so
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281-x%29ln%286%29+=+1\" Divide both sides by ln(6)
\n" ); document.write( "\"1-x+=+1%2Fln%286%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1+-+%281%2Fln%286%29%29\" Use your calculator to find ln(6).
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1+-+0.558\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+0.442\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
