Question 130629
{{{3+e^(5x-1)=9}}} Start with the given equation



{{{e^(5x-1)=6}}} Subtract 3 from both sides



{{{5x-1=ln(6)}}} Take the natural log of both sides. This will eliminate the constant "e"



{{{5x=ln(6)+1}}} Add 1 to both sides



{{{x=(ln(6)+1)/5}}} Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
