you take the natural log of both sides, and you are left with x+7=x, which leaves 7=0, which is not defined. is that correct?

    1. John Says:

      e^(x+7) = e^x + 1. Subtract e^x from both sides.
      e^(x+7) - e^x = 1. Factor out e^x.
      (e^x)(e^7 - 1) = 1.
      e^x = 1/(e^7 - 1).
      x = ln (1/(e^7 - 1)).
