I am trying to use the Lambert-W function to solve the following equation for $x$.
$$ \frac{a}{b} \ln x-x+ c =0 $$
My first step is to rewrite $x$ as $e^{\ln x}$.
$$ \frac a b \ln x - e^{ln x} + c =0$$
I then multiply by $b$ and divide by $a$.
$$ \ln x - \frac b a e^{\ln x} + \frac b a c =0 $$
I have read about the Lambert-W function but am unsure of how to progress!
Write your equation as $$ \ln(x) - \frac{bx}{a} = - \frac{bc}{a} $$ take the exponential of both sides: $$ x e^{-bx/a} = e^{-bc/a}$$ and multiply by $-b/a$. With $u = -bx/a$ we have $$ u e^u = -\frac{b}{a} e^{-bc/a} $$ Thus $u = W\left(-\frac{b}{a} e^{-bc/a}\right)$, and $$ x = -\frac{a}{b} W\left(-\frac{b}{a} e^{-bc/a}\right) $$
