No solution.

Explanation:

7lnx=eλlnx=(elnx)λ=xλ

but λ=ln7 so finally we have

xln7xln7=0686 and the equations has not solution.

There is no solution. Had the sign between the two terms been + instead of , then there would be a solution. Check the problem.

Explanation:

We have ln(ab)=blna, so:

ln(7lnx)=(lnx)(ln7)

ln(xln7)=(ln7)(lnx)

The logarithms are equal, therefore the numbers 7lnx and xln7 are equal, and their difference is never anything other than zero.
