Answer

Solution set = $\{ e^{3}, e^{-3} \}$

Work Step by Step

$2|\ln x|-6=0$ $2|\ln x|=6$ $|\ln x|=3\qquad $ ...$|\ln x|=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x, & \ln x\geq 0\\ -x, & \ln x\lt 0 \end{array}\right.$ $\left[\begin{array}{lll} \ln x=3 & or & \ln x=-3\\ x=e^{3} & & x=e^{-3} \end{array}\right]$ Solution set = $\{ e^{3}, e^{-3} \}$
