Solve for x. (1/3) lne^(3x)- 3e^(lnx)=12
(1/3)*(3x)- 3x = 12
x - 3x = 12
x = -6
--------------
--> ln of a negative number, not allowed --> no solution

ln (e ^ something) = something. ln and e are opposites, like dividing and multiplying.
(1/3) lne^(3x)- 3e^(lnx)=12; e^lnx =1
(1/3)* 3x -3 =12
x -3 =12
x=15
Check this
(1/3) ln e^(45)- 3 e^(ln 15)=12
15-15 =0
but 0 does not equal 12. No solution
Try ln (1)=0; (1/3)* ln e^3-3e(0)=12; (1/3)*3 -0=12, which is not true.
