First, we'll impose the constraint of existence of
ln(x):
x > 0
Since the
logarithms from the equation have matching bases, we'll apply the product property of
logarithms and we'll transform the sum of logarithms into a
product.
ln (x) + ln (2) = ln
(2x)
But ln (x) + ln (2) = 0 => ln (2x) =
0
We'll take antilogarithm and we'll
have:
2x = `e^0`
2x =
1
x =
`1/2`
Since the value of x is positive, then
we'll accept it as solution of the given equation: x = `1/2`
.
