Answer:

[tex]ln(e^x)=ln(3)[/tex]

[tex]x=1.099[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following exponential expression:

[tex]2e^x=6[/tex]

You need to divide both sides of the equation by 2:

[tex]\frac{2e^x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\\\e^x=3[/tex]

Now apply the function Natural logarithm to both sides of the function:

[tex]ln(e^x)=ln(3)[/tex]

Note that now the exponential function is transformed into a logarithmic function.

By definition:

[tex]ln(e^x)=x[/tex] Because the base of the Natural logarithm is the Euler's number "e".

Then you can solve for "x":

[tex]x=ln(3)\\x=1.099[/tex])
