SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the equation ln(x+4)=2. The correct approach begins with exponentiating both sides, leading to e^2 = x + 4. The next step is to isolate x by subtracting 4 from both sides, resulting in x = e^2 - 4. Participants confirm that the initial steps were correct, emphasizing the importance of correctly isolating the variable.
