We have to find the potential solutions to
2 ln x = 4 ln 2 from least to greatest.

Using the properties of ln function.


a * ln b = ln b^(a)

Therefore, we get


ln x^(2) = ln 2^(4)


ln x^(2) = ln 16

taking antilog on both the sides, we get


x^(2) = 16

So,
x = \pm 4

Therefore, the potential solutions to 2 ln x = 4 ln 2 from least to greatest is -4 and 4.
