First you should see that the 2s cancel out. The equation becomes:


ln( e^(ln(5x)) ) = ln15

Use the laws of logarithms, knowing that ln(e) = 1.


ln(5x) = ln(15) \\ 5x = 15 \\ x = 3

The answer is B.

Hopefully this helps!

Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

Given in an equation as


2 ln e^ln5x=2 ln 15

Divide 2 to get


ln e^ln5x= ln 15

Using log rules for exponents we get

ln 5x = ln 15

Cancel ln to get


5x=15x=3

Hence solutin is x=3
