So my equation is 9 = 2.0 + 2.768 ln(x) I'm not sure what steps to take.

subtract 2 from both sides
7 = 2.768 ln(x)
 
Then I just go blank I raised it to e after also adding 2.768 but I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
4.232 = ln (x)
e^4.232 = x
 
I'm so sure that's incorrect

shouldn't the 2 be a 7?

Philip,
Line 5 should be 7/2.768=ln(x)

so then it would be e^2.529 = 12.541

Yes, it is a 7 not a 2, and 12.541 is correct. Good catch, Kris (and Arthur). I corrected my answer above.
