divide by two
ln is base e. both sides of the equation are base e so the parts inside the parentheses are equal
x=2
x = 2 is the true solution. ;
The true solution to the equation 2 ln ( 4 x ) = 2 ln ( 8 ) is x = 2 . This is found by simplifying the equation and using the properties of logarithms. After simplification, we arrive at 4 x = 8 , leading to x = 2 .
