Could you explain in detail how to solve these problems? The answers written in red are given to me from the teacher I'm just not sure how they got them. The instructions for these problems say to solve for x

#### Problem g:
Equation: \( 6 \ln(x) + 5 = 17 \)
Solution:
- First, isolate the logarithm by subtracting 5 from both sides:
\[
6 \ln(x) = 12
\]
- Divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(\ln(x)\):
\[
\ln(x) = 2
\]
- Exponentiate to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = e^2
\]
#### Problem h:
Equation: \( 2e^{3-x} - 12 = 6 \)
Solution:
- First, isolate the exponential expression by adding 12 to both sides:
\[
2e^{3-x} = 18
\]
- Divide both sides by 2:
\[
e^{3-x} = 9
\]
- Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
\[
3-x = \ln(9)
\]
- Solve for \(x\) by isolating it:
\[
x = 3 - \ln(9)
\]
- Simplify further:
\[
x = \frac{1}{3} \ln(9)
\]
These solutions show step-by-step processes to solve logarithmic and exponential equations. The answers are boxed in red for clarity.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd824104a-96bc-4561-8672-0656666c77c0%2Fd995f4e8-a953-449c-a389-c17ccde1acf9%2Fnlpcbv_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
