A = k - p·ln(x)

Solve for ln(x)

add p·ln(x) to both sides:

p·ln(x) + A = k

Subtract A from both sides:

p·ln(x) = k - A

Divide both sides by p

        k - A 
ln(x) = —————
          p

Now you need to know this principle:  

The natural log equation ln%28M%29+=+N is equivalent to the 
exponential form,  M+=+e%5EN

So the above becomes:

 x = e%28k-A%29%2FP

Presuming you mean:



and not



Add to both sides then multiply both sides by



then use the definition of logarithms:
