That's going to depend a lot on what you want to "do" to it.

I'm going to assume that you want to find a number for 'x' that makes
the whole equation a true statement. Here's how I would do it:

5 ln(x) = 35

Divide each side by 5: ln(x) = 35/5
ln(x) = 7

Raise 'e' to the power of each side: e^[ ln(x) ] = e⁷

But e^[ ln(x) ] is just 'x'. So x = e⁷ = 1,096.633... (rounded)

That's the only number you can write in place of 'x'
and make the original equation true.
