Answer

$x=\dfrac{4}{3}\ln10\approx3.07$

Work Step by Step

$e^{3x/4}=10$ Apply $\ln$ to both sides of the equation: $\ln e^{3x/4}=\ln10$ Take $\dfrac{3x}{4}$ down to multiply in front of its respective $\ln$: $\dfrac{3x}{4}\ln e=\ln10$ Since $\ln e=1$, this equation becomes: $\dfrac{3x}{4}=\ln10$ Solve for $x$: $3x=4\ln10$ $x=\dfrac{4}{3}\ln10\approx3.07$
