Answer

$$x= \ln \frac{3}{7} $$

Work Step by Step

Since \begin{align*} 10\left(1+e^{-x}\right)^{-1}&=3\\ 1+e^{-x}&= \frac{10}{3}\\ e^{-x}&= \frac{7}{3},\ \ \ \ \text{Take }\ \ln \ \ \text{for both sides }\\ \ln e^{-x}&=\ln \frac{7}{3}\\ -x&=\ln \frac{7}{3}\\ x&= \ln\left( \frac{7}{3}\right)^{-1} \end{align*} Then $$x= \ln \frac{3}{7} $$
