This is so easy!!!: 9x0.12786942458901=1.150824821 3^0.12786942458901=1.150824821 || \/ 1.150824821=1.150824821 || \/ x=0.12786942458901 Didn't you know? ;-> WiktorM PS (to Sebastian Pena) I called my sister's mother-in-law - mathematician. She said there's no way you can solve this equation algebraicly! I don't know how to translate it - in polish that kind of equation is called "rownanie przestepne". obASCII: (yes, i know, i'm so lazy ;) _ _ _ \/ _ / / \ |_' \/ / - \_ \_/ ._| /\ | 1 ,--|--. ,-' | `-. *Not so accurate scale* ,' | `. ,' | `. / | \ / | \ / ----+------------+------------\------------+------------/--- __ |0 __ \ __ / __ || | || \ || / 3|| - --- | --- `. ,' --- 2 | 2 `. ,' 2 | `-. ,-' | -1 `--,--'
