I have 7 equations containing 7 unknowns: nMj, nMk, pHj, pMj, pHk, pMk, Am. Following are my equations.
eq 1: 50=nMj+nMk
eq2: 500=pHj+pMj
eq3: 20=pHk+pMk
eq4: pHj=(22500/(45+nMj))
eq5: pHk=(8100/(405+nMk))
eq6: 405=(0.000343*Am*((450-pHj)/ln((450-pHk)/(pHj-pHk))))
eq7: nMk=(0.0000555*Am*((50-pMj)/ln((50-pMk)/(pMj-pMk))))
Below is the code that I've tried to put in. Tried to use the 'solve' function to solve the problem but failed. Could anyone enlighten me on how to solve this? Thank you.
syms nMj nMk pHj pMj pHk pMk Am
eq1=50-nMj-nMk
eq2=500-pHj-pMj
eq3=20-pHk-pMk
eq4=pHj-(22500/(45+nMj))
eq5=pHk-(8100/(405+nMk))
eq6=405-(0.000343*Am*((450-pHj)/ln((450-pHk)/(pHj-pHk))))
eq7=nMk-(0.0000555*Am*((50-pMj)/ln((50-pMk)/(pMj-pMk))))
solve(eq1,eq2,eq3,eq4,eq5,eq6,eq7,nMj,nMk,pHj,pMj,pHk,pMk,Am)

Try using 'log' instead of 'ln' for the natural logarithm. I don't think 'solve' recognizes 'ln'.
