ln is to log to base e (e is a special number) approximate value of e = 2.718

log 10 is log to base ten

log 2 is log to base two

etc

ln (7x – 1) = 2

7x – 1 = e²

7x = e² + 1

x = (e² + 1) / 7

x = 1.199

ln = natural log which is a base e so in your case:

7x-1 = e^2

7x = e^2 + 1

x= (e^2 + 1)/7

e = 2.71828 and a lot more (it’s like pi in no one has found a repeating pattern)

unless otherwise indicated log is base 10 and natural log (ln) is base e.

e² = 7x – 1

7.3891 = 7x – 1

8.3891 = 7x

1.1984 = x
