Suppose that a dose of x0 (initial) gram of a drug is injected into the bloodstream. Assume that the drug leaves the blood and enters the urine at a rate proportional to the amount of drug present in the blood. In addition, assume that half of the drug dose has entered the urine after 0.75 hour. Find the time at which the amount of drug in the blood stream is 5% of the original drug dose x0 (initial).
I have the first order differential equation. It's finding t that is the problem.

Obviously, the law is exponential decay and you get from
x(34)=12x0, x(k34)=12kx0 the formula
x(t)=243tx0
where t is measured in hours.
Now you have to solve
243t=0.05  t=34log0.05log2.
