How does 1=5.85e^(-x/(5*10^-5)) become e^(x/(5*10^-5))=5.85? This confusion I don't how this could be possible.

Assuming you have

e^(-x)=1

1/e^x=1/1

Cross multiply it is basic maths

1×1=e^x×1

e^x=1
Got the ideal??
No, can you show step by step using the giving number instead?
5.85=e^(-x/5×10^-5)

5.85e^[(-x)(1/(5×10^-5)]=1

When you have something like 2^(-1)=1/2

Using that idea above
5.85/e^(x)(1/(5×10^-5)]=1/1
Cross multiply

5.85=e^(x)(1/(5×10^-5)]

Do you understand?
Thank you,
I understand. I haven't use this type of math for many years so I forgot but you refresh my memory.
You're welcome
