$x=3*e^2$

from the given: $ln x-ln 3=2$

$ln (x/3)=2$

also this means

$ln_e (x/3)=2$

taking the exponential form

$e^2=x/3$

$3*e^2=3*x/3$ multiplying both sides by 3

$3*e^2=cancel3*x/cancel3$

$3*e^2=x$

and

$color (red)(x=3*e^2)$

Check: at $x=3*e^2$ using the original equation

$ln x-ln 3=2$

$ln 3*e^2-ln 3=2$

$ln ((3*e^2)/3)=2$

$ln (e^2)=2$

$2=2$
