You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ln%28e%5Ex%29+=+3
We start be rewriting this in exponential form. In general log%28a%2C+%28p%29%29+=+q is equivalent to p+=+a%5Eq. Using this pattern on your expression we get:
e%5Ex+=+e%5E3
The only way these powers of e can be equal is if the exponents themselves are equal, too. So:
x = 3
