Question 277178
If the problem is as you posted it, then there is nothing you can do to simplify it.<br>
However, if the problem is actually:
{{{y = 2e^(ln(x))}}}
then there is something we can do. And it helps if you understand what a logarithm represents. Logarithms are exponents. In general
{{{log(a, (b))}}}
represents the exponent for "a" which results in "b". With your equation,
ln(x)
represents the exponent for e which results in x. And where so we find ln(x)? Answer: As an exponent on e! So
{{{e^(ln(x)) = x}}} 
by the very definition of logarithms! So your equation simplifies to:
y = 2x
