Question 269189
if t=0, then the exponents are zero and (by definition) both sides equal one


this is a "default" solution ___ changing any or all other values in the equation does not change the solution




___ alternatively ___


taking the natural log ___ -t / 4.6 = ln(1.73) * 2.7t


multiplying by 4.6 ___ -t = ln(1.73) * 12.42t


adding t-ln(1.73) ___ -ln(1.73) = 13.42t


dividing by 13.42 ___ -ln(1.73) / 13.42 = t


t = -.0408 (approx)
