Answer:

Explanation:

Substituting any x value except for our solutions results in a product of two non-zero numbers, which means the product is certainly not zero. Therefore, we know that our solutions are the only ones possible.

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent. Expand ln (2x) by moving x outside the logarithm.

x= 12/2

12 over 2 fraction form

So you just need to distribute. You distribute the 2 by multiplying it by x and 12.
2 x X = 2x
2 x 12 = 24
The solution is 2x+24
