Hello everyone,
if I have a following expression, how can I find n approximately?

n(ln(n) - 1) = 200

I think this (n*ln(n) type) is called a transcedental... but I do not know how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. my original post was how to arrive at this expression, but I solved it right after posting.
