x-\left(x-e^{x}\right)=1
Subtract x-e^{x} from both sides.
x-x+e^{x}=1
To find the opposite of x-e^{x}, find the opposite of each term.
e^{x}=1
Combine x and -x to get 0.
\log(e^{x})=\log(1)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
x\log(e)=\log(1)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
x=\frac{\log(1)}{\log(e)}
Divide both sides by \log(e).
x=\log_{e}\left(1\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
