I've almost finished a long maths problem, but I'm stuck on the last bit: 16.3x = log(x) + 6.06 Given this, how do I find x? Any hints would be very appreciated! -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

No idea on the method, but Wolfram Alpha has solutions.

Unfortunately the workings are more important than the answer in this case. I managed to cancel out of the first x, which left me with a more manageable: log(a x) = b which becomes ax = exp(b) x = exp(b) / a (where a and b are known integers) I'm still now clear on how I would solve the first, but fortunately it doesn't seem necessary any more. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |
