Can't tell whether your problem is this:

log%283%2C%28x-8%29%29=2, what is ln%28x%29?

x-8=3%5E2

x-8=9

x=17

ln%28x%29=ln%2817%29

ln%28x%29=2.933213344

-------------------------

Or whether it's this:

log%28%283%28x-8%29%5E%22%22%29%29=2, what is ln%28x%29

log%28%283x-24%29%29=2

log%2810%2C%283x-24%29%29=2

3x-24=10%5E2

3x-24=100

3x=124

x=124%2F3

ln%28x%29=ln%28124%2F3%29

ln%28x%29=3.721669277
