I am having trouble rememering how to solve this using logarithm terms, and solving to 4 decimal points. 13e^x-5=10
13e^x-5=10 add 5 to both sides
13e^x = 15 divide both sides by 13
e^x = 15/13 take the ln of both sides
ln e^x = ln (15/13) and we can write
x ln e = ln (15/13) and ln e = 1......so we have
x = ln(15/13) = about .143
