Let's try the following method. We'll subtract ln e^3 both
sides:
ln e^3x = 6 - ln
e^3
We'll re-write 6 as:
6 =
6*1
We'll substitute the value 1 by ln
e.
6 = 6*ln e
We'll use the
power property of the logarithms:
6 = ln
e^6
We'll re-write the
equation:
ln e^3x = ln e^6 - ln
e^3
Because the bases are matching, we'll transform the
difference of logarithms from the right side, into a
quotient:
ln e^3x = ln
(e^6/e^3)
Because the bases are matching, we'll apply the
one to one property:
e^3x =
e^(6-3)
e^3x = e^3
Because the
bases are matching, we'll apply the one to one property:
3x
= 3
We'll divide by 3 both
sides:
x =
1
