THis is a natural log question. we start with
ln+x-ln%28x-4%29=ln+4
step 1 - the rules say that when you subtract ln's you divide the information to get
ln%28x%29%2F%28x-4%29+=+ln%284%29
step 2 - eliminate the ln's to get
x%2F%28x-4%29+=+4
step 3 - cross multiply to get
x+=+4x++-+16
subtract to get
-3x+=+-16
divide to get
x+=+16%2F3
