Step 2.1

Expand $\ln (e^{0.06 x})$ by moving $0.06 x$ outside the logarithm.

$0.06 x \ln (e) = \ln (3)$

Step 2.2

The natural logarithm of $e$ is $1$ .

$0.06 x \cdot 1 = \ln (3)$

Step 2.3

Multiply $0.06$ by $1$ .

$0.06 x = \ln (3)$

Step 3

Divide each term in $0.06 x = \ln (3)$ by $0.06$ and simplify.

Step 3.3.1

Replace $e$ with an approximation.

$x = \frac{\log_{2.71828182} (3)}{0.06}$

Step 3.3.2

Log base $2.71828182$ of $3$ is approximately $1.09861228$ .

$x = \frac{1.09861228}{0.06}$

Step 3.3.3

Divide $1.09861228$ by $0.06$ .

$x = 18.31020481$
