e%5E%280.024x%29=6
lne%5E%280.024x%29=ln6 you ln both sides
%28.024x%29lne=ln6 since, lna%5Eb=b%2Alna
.024x=ln6 since, lne=1
x=ln6%2F.024
x=74.6566446
This answer is rounded.

Taking natural logarithms of both sides we get:lne%5E%280.024x%29=ln6
0.024x=ln6, divided both sides by 0.024, we have:x=ln6%2F0.024=74.7
