Interesting problem. Is this what you mean?

If so, then this is a problem in "inverses", that is, in "undoing" what has been done. Start by undoing the ln, by raising both sides as a power of e. That means

Next, undo the sqrt, by squaring both sides of the equation:

Remember that when you raise a power to a power, you multiply exponents:

Then to solve for x, add 2 to each side of the equation:
