Answer:
x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
Note the following rules before we begin:
2 ln(a) = ln (a²)
ln (a) + ln (b) = ln (ab)

Now, for the given:
ln(20) + ln(5) = 2 ln(x)
ln(20*5) = ln(x²)
ln(100) = ln(x²)

This means that:
100 = x²
Therefore:
either x = 10 .........> acceped
or x = -10 .........> rejected as no negatives are allowed within ln functions

Hope this helps :)
