Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
We are given the following equation;

Required;
We are required to describe two methods which can be used to solve for x in this equation.
Step-by-step solution;
We can solve for the variable x by taking the natural log of both sides of the equation. This is shown below;

We take the natural log of both sides;

Next we apply the log rule;

Therefore, our equation is now refined and becomes;

Divide both sides by ln(1.12);

A second method is to express it as a logarithmic equation;

We shall apply the log rule which is;


For example;


Therefore, for the equation given;


Note that both solutions can be simplified eventually with the use of a calculator.
ANSWER:
(1) By taking the natural log of both sides
(2) By expressing the equation as a logarithmic equation
