Solution

(2x)ln 2 = (3y)ln 3

ln 2 (ln 2 + ln x) = ln 3 (ln 3 + ln y)

ln 2 . ln x – ln 3 ln y = (ln 3)2 – (ln 2)2                   .....(1)

3ln x = 2ln y

ln x . ln 3 = lny . ln 2

 ℓn  y=ℓn  xℓn3ℓn2                                               .....(2)

Solving (1) & (2)

ln x = – ln 2 ⇒ x =  12
