$$\\6e^x=25\\\\
e^x=25/6\\\\
ln(e^x)=ln(25/6)\\\\
xln(e)=ln(25/6)\\\\
x\;=ln(25/6)$$

 

$${ln}{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{25}}}{{\mathtt{6}}}}\right)} = {\mathtt{1.427\: \!116\: \!355\: \!640\: \!145\: \!8}}$$

OK....we have

6e^x = 25      divide both sides by 6

e^x = 25/6     take the ln of both sides

ln e^x = ln(25/6)       note.......we can write..... ln e^x as  x lne   and lne = 1   so  x*1  = x

x = ln(25/6) = 1.4271163556401458
