e^2x-1=42

Solution for e^2x-1=42 equation:

Simplifying
e2x + -1 = 42

Reorder the terms:
-1 + e2x = 42

Solving
-1 + e2x = 42

Solving for variable 'e'.

Move all terms containing e to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + e2x = 42 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + e2x = 42 + 1
e2x = 42 + 1

Combine like terms: 42 + 1 = 43
e2x = 43

Divide each side by 'x'.
e2 = 43x-1

Simplifying
e2 = 43x-1

Combine like terms: 43x-1 + -43x-1 = 0
e2 + -43x-1 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x-1'.
x-1(e2x + -43) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'x-1' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
x-1 = 0

Solving
x-1 = 0

Move all terms containing e to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1x-1' to each side of the equation.
x-1 + -1x-1 = 0 + -1x-1
Remove the zero:
0 = -1x-1

Simplifying
0 = -1x-1
