2ln(x-5)=3.65

2*ln(x-5) = 3.65
-----
your equation is:
2*ln(x-5) = 3.65
divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:
ln(x-5) = 1.825
by the basic laws of logarithms, this can happen if and only if:
e^1.825 = (x-5)
e^1.825 = 6.202795019 (use your calculator to get this)
this means that:
6.202795019 = x-5
add 5 to both sides of this equation to get:
x = 11.202795019
-----
the basic law of logarithms states:
if and only if
-----
with natural logarithms, the base is
your x was actually (x-5)
your y was 3.65 / 2 = 1.825
