In the equation, both sides are positive because the factors \displaystyle e^{x} and \displaystyle 3^{-x} are positive regardless of the value of \displaystyle x (a positive base raised to a number always gives a positive number). We can therefore take the natural logarithm of both sides,

Using the log laws, we can divide up the products into several logarithmic terms,

Vorlage:Displayed math

and using the law \displaystyle \ln a^{b}=b\cdot \ln a, we can get rid of \displaystyle x from the exponents

Vorlage:Displayed math

Collect \displaystyle x on one side and the other terms on the other,

Vorlage:Displayed math

Take out \displaystyle x on the left-hand side and use \displaystyle \ln e=1,

Vorlage:Displayed math

Then, solve for \displaystyle x,
