You can put this solution on YOUR website!
16ln(x) = 30
To solve this, isolate the logarithm (by dividing both sides by 16):
ln(x) = 30/16 = 15/8
... rewrite the equation in exponential form:
x+=+e%5E%2815%2F8%29
This is the exact answer for x. If you want a decimal approximation, get out your calculator and have it calculate the right side. (e is approximately 2.7182818284590451. Round off as desired.)
