*Rewrite in exponential form
*Base = e and exponent = 1
e^1 = (4x - 4)
Anything riased to the first power is itself.
So, e^1 = e.
e = 4x - 4
Add 4 to both sides.
e + 4 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.
(e + 4)/4 = x
At this point, use your calculator to find an approximate answer for x.
1.679570457 = x
