Hello,
I thought I understood natural logs but when this example came in apparently you were not allowed to work it out in this way. I remember that example coming up earlier but then forgetting about it.
(attachment below):
Why cant I take the natural logarithm and simplify like this, is there a specific rule I have to follow, can someone explain when and when I can not take natural logs like this because I thought you were able to , is it only when there is a single value next to the e like e^2x and you cant take it for e^2x+1. Why is this.
Help would be appreciated, thanks

You can divide by 10 and you can take (natural) logs. However, the right hand side doesnt simplify as you might expect as
ln(a + b)
is not
ln(a) + ln(b)

so would you have to do it a different way as if I was to take a ln there it would ahve to be ln (a+b)

Half guessing the question / your writing, Id expect that the second one is T+5 (not T+s) so express the right hand side in terms of
e^(-T/8) * (...)
then rearrange/take logs to solve for T.
