Question 360646: Find the solution of the exponential equation in terms of logrithms, or correct to four decimal places. 15eX-12=17
I added 12 to 17 to remove it and got 15eX=29 but im not sure if i should divde or what i am supposed to do next?

15eX-12=17
I added 12 to 17 to remove it and got 15eX=29 but im not sure if i should divde or what i am supposed to do next?
-------------
If x is the exponent, and not x-12:
15e%5Ex+-+12+=+17
15e%5Ex+=+29
e%5Ex+=+29%2F15
ln%28e%5Ex%29+=+ln%2829%2F15%29
x = ln(29/15)
--------------
x =~ 0.6592
