x=1121

Explanation:

Divide both sides by 2.

(12)lnx=ln1ln11

Simplify the right hand side using the logarithm rule: lnalnb=ln(ab)

(12)lnx=ln(111)

Simplify the left hand side using the logarithm rule: alnx=ln(xa)

ln(x12)=ln(111)

lnx=ln(111)

Thus, since if lna=lnb, then a=b,

x=111

x=(111)2

x=1121
