there are 72 campers at the summer camp because if we just multiply 8 times 9 equals 72
Begin by subtracting 1/8 from both sides to get

and get a common denominator of 8 on the right:

. Now simplify and cross-multiply: 39x = -16 andx = -16/39
Start by reviewing your knowledge of natural logarithms. If we take the ln of both sides we get e^z=ln(1). Do the same thing again and wheel about the ln(ln(1)). There's going to be complex solutions, Wolfram Alpah gets them but let me know if you figure out how to do it?
