Combine the constants:

Isolate the exponential function by dividing:

Take the natural log of both sides:

Finally isolate x:

First, let's begin by simplifying the left hand side.

becomes and becomes . Remember that , and the in that expression can come out to the front, as in .

Now, our expression is

From this, we can cancel out the 2's and an x from both sides.

Thus our answer becomes:

.

We expand logarithms using the same rules that we use to condense them.

Here we will use the quotient property

and the power property

.

Use the quotient property:

Rewrite the radical:

Now use the power property:
