e%5E%283t%29=142
log%28%28e%5E%283t%29%29%29=log%28%28142%29%29
%283t%29log%28%28e%29%29=log%28%28142%29%29......since log%28%28e%29%29=1 in base e
3t=log%28%28142%29%29
t=log%28%28142%29%29%2F3
t=log%28%2871%2A2%29%29%2F3
t=%28log%28%2871%29%29%2Blog%28%282%29%29%29%2F3

solve this equation e^3t=142
e%5E%283t%29+=+142

ln 142 = 3t ------- Converting to LOGARITHMIC (Natural) form

t+=+%28ln+%28142%29%29%2F3, or highlight_green%281.651942353%29
