Question

Consider the equation xln(3x)−3 = 0 .

Explain why 2 ln(6)>3 without computing the value of ln(6) out explicitly.

(Hint: e<3 therefore e^3<3^3).

 

(I asked this question before but did not 100% follow the logic. If someone could show the simplest way to solve the problem with minor explanations, that would be great. Thanks.)
