e%5E%28ln%28x%29%29+%2B+ln+%28e%5Ex%29+=+8......the natural logarithm function, if considered as a real-valued function of a real variable, is the inverse function of the exponential function, leading to the identities:
e%5E%28ln%28x%29%29=x if x+%3E+0
and
ln%28e%5Ex%29+=+x

so, you have:

x+%2Bx+=+8

2x+=+8

x+=+4
