Given:
2 ln 3 = ln (x - 4) ; Solve for x ;
Note: 2 ln 3 = ln 3² = ln (3 * 3) = ln 9 ;
ln 9 = ln (x -4) ;
9 = x - 4 ;
Add "4" to each side of the equation;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation;
& to solve for "x" ;
9 + 4 = x - 4 + 4 ;
to get:
13 = x ;
↔ x = 13 ;

Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2\ln3=\ln(x-4)\\\\\text{Domain:}\\\\x-4>0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\x-4+4>0+4\\\boxed{x>4}\\====================\\\text{use}\ \log_ab^n=n\log_ab\\\\\ln3^2=\ln(x-4)\iff3^2=x-4\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\9+4=x-4+4\\\\13=x\to x=13\in D[/tex]
