Divide both sides by 4:
ln(2x)=4

Raise both sides as powers of e in order to "undo" the ln.
e%5Eln%282x%29=e%5E4

2x=e%5E4

Divide both sides by 2:
x=%28e%5E4%29%2F2

For additional help with LOGARITHMS, please see my own website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Then click on my website. On my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Then choose "College Algebra", then "Chapter 4 (Logarithms)". I have a complete explanation of Logarithms that I think you will find my explanation a lot easier to understand than traditional textbooks. Besides this, many of my exercises are solved IN COLOR in the MATH IN LIVING COLOR pages that go with this.

In addition to my written explanations of this topic, there is a video explanation from my own classes from before I retired. All of this is FREE if you have RealPlayer. If you don't have RealPlayer, then it is a FREE download.

I have many other topics from Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra that are explained in detail, with many of these topics explained on video as well. Everything on the website is FREE.
