Question 130683
{{{2e^(2x+3)-3=5}}} Start with the given equation. 



{{{2e^(2x+3)=8}}} Add 3 to both sides



{{{e^(2x+3)=4}}} Divide both sides by 2



{{{2x+3=ln(4)}}} Take the natural log of both sides. Doing this will eliminate the base "e"



{{{2x=ln(4)-3}}} Subtract 3 from both sides



{{{x=(ln(4)-3)/2}}} Divide both sides by 2
