What do you think is the best first step?

Hey Eraser147.

Try collecting the 10^(t) terms to one side and then use the relationship that log_10(10^t) = t where log_10(x) = log(x)/log(10) where log(x) is the natural logarithm.

I ended up with . I don't know where to go from there.

10^(t) - 0.8*10^(t) = 1.6 - 1 which means
0.2*10^(t) = 0.6 which means
10^(t) = 0.6/0.2 = 3.

Oh... THANKS A BUNCH. My error was not realizing I should subtract the 0.8*10^(t)
