You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm not sure if x is a variable or multiplication---no matter, I'll do both!
0.12=8x%281%2F2%29%5E%28t%2F153%29
0.12%2F8x=%288x%281%2F2%29%5E%28t%2F153%29%29%2F8x
0.12%2F8x=%28cross%288x%29%281%2F2%29%5E%28t%2F153%29%29%2Fcross%288x%29
0.12%2F8x=%281%2F2%29%5E%28t%2F153%29
ln%280.12%2F8x%29=ln%28%281%2F2%29%5E%28t%2F153%29%29
ln%280.12%2F8x%29=%28t%2F153%29ln%281%2F2%29


ln%280.12%2F8x%29%2F%28ln%281%2F2%29%29=t%2F153
153ln%280.12%2F8x%29%2F%28ln%281%2F2%29%29=153t%2F153
153ln%280.12%2F8x%29%2F%28ln%281%2F2%29%29=cross%28153%29t%2Fcross%28153%29
153ln%280.12%2F8x%29%2F%28ln%281%2F2%29%29=t
If x meant multiply, then remove the x and stick it in your calculator:
153ln%280.12%2F8%29%2F%28ln%281%2F2%29%29=t
153ln%28.015%29%2Fln%28.5%29=t
153%28-4.1997050578%29%2F-.6931471806=t
t=927.0107299 round it off to whatever you're told to.
Happy Calculating!!!
