ln%28ln%28e%5E%28e%5E%28-20%29%29%29%29%5E%22%22

ln%28%28e%5E%28-20%29%29%2Aln%28e%29%29 Using the rule ln%28x%5Ey%29+=+y%2Aln%28x%29

ln%28e%5E%28-20%29%29%2Bln%28ln%28e%29%29 Using the rule ln%28x%2Ay%29+=+ln%28x%29%2Bln%28y%29

-20%2Aln%28e%29%2Bln%28ln%28e%29%29 Using the rule ln%28x%5Ey%29+=+y%2Aln%28x%29

-20%2A1%2Bln%281%29 Using the rule ln%28e%29=1

-20%2A1%2B0 Using the rule ln%281%29=0

-20

So, ln%28ln%28e%5E%28e%5E%28-20%29%29%29%29%5E%22%22+=+-20
