Answer:

x =
ye^(2a)

Explanation:

Data provided:

ln(x) − ln(y) = 2a

Now,

The using the following properties of log function,

we have

log(A) - log(B) =
\ln((A)/(B))

and,

ln(a) = b is equivalent to a =
e^b (here e is exponential )

ln(e) = 1

therefore,

the above equation transforms as:


\ln((x)/(y)) = 2a

taking anti-ln both sides,

we get


(x)/(y) =
e^(2a)

or

x =
ye^(2a)
