SOLUTION: Solve for x:
ln(x - 2)² = 6
Which way is correct?
e^6 = (x - 2)²
± e^3 = x - 2
x = 2 ± e^3
or
2ln(x - 2) = 6
ln(x - 2) = 3
e^3 = x - 2
x = 2 + e^3

Not sure until we know what is intended to be in the natural log function. Your second method is better. The argument or function input is a square, and your steps follow each other well.
