53x = 900 take the log of both sides
log 53x = log 900 and we can write
(3x) log 5 = log 900
x (3log 5) = log 900 divide both sides by 3log 5
log (900) / [ 3log (5) ] ≈ 1.41
ln 3 + ln (4x) = 4 we can write
ln (3*4x) = 4
ln (12x) = 4
This says that
e^4 = 12x divide both sides by 12
e^4 / 12 = x ≈ 4.55
