  1. Isolate exponential term: Step 11: Isolate the exponential term.\newlineWe start by isolating the exponential term on one side of the equation. Since the equation is 0.5×108t=730.5\times10^{8t} = 73, we can divide both sides by 0.50.5 to isolate the exponential term.\newline108t=730.510^{8t} = \frac{73}{0.5}\newline108t=14610^{8t} = 146
  2. Apply logarithm: Step 22: Apply logarithm to both sides.\newlineTo solve for tt, we apply the logarithm to both sides of the equation. We use the base10-10 logarithm.\newlinelog10(108t)=log10(146)\log_{10}(10^{8t}) = \log_{10}(146)\newlineUsing the logarithmic identity logb(bx)=x\log_b(b^x) = x, we simplify the left side.\newline8t=log10(146)8t = \log_{10}(146)
  3. Solve for t: Step 33: Solve for t.\newlineNow, we solve for t by dividing both sides of the equation by 88.\newlinet=log10(146)8t = \frac{\log_{10}(146)}{8}
  4. Approximate value of t: Step 44: Approximate the value of t.\newlineUsing a calculator, we find the value of log10(146)\log_{10}(146) and then divide by 88.\newlinelog10(146)2.1644\log_{10}(146) \approx 2.1644\newlinet2.1644/8t \approx 2.1644 / 8\newlinet0.27055t \approx 0.27055
