Rewrite the equation using the properties of logarithms:

e^ln(x+3) = e^7

Exponentiation and ln are inverse functions so the equation simplifies to:

x + 3 = e^7

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = e^7 -3

Raise e to the power of 7 and subtract 3 from that:

x = 1093.633 ( Rounded to the nearest hundredth).
