There is only one solution x=0.69x=0.69

Explanation:

Let

f(x)=e^x+lnx+2x-3f(x)=ex+lnx+2x3

Then,

f'(x)=e^x+1/x+2

Apply Newton-Raphson Method

x_(n+1)=x_n-f(x_n)/(f'(x_n))

Let x_0=1

Then,

x_1=1-f(1)/(f'(1))=0.816325

x_2=0.816325-f(0.816325)/(f'(0.816325))=0.69235

x_3=0.69235-f(0.692355)/(f'(0.692355))=0.69178
