10 sec solution would be the graphical one.
The graphs of e x & ln ( x ) never intersect .
I agree there are no real solutions, but there are two complex solutions, you should consider it in the problem. Nice problem
I have edited .. thnx for suggestion
Could you please show how yow you solved these?

Are you talking about the complex solutions?.... Sorry I don't remember xD (maybe I supposed there were complex solutions and asked to wolfram)
e x and ln ( x ) are inverse of each other and e x and x don't intersect therefore there is no real solution.

e x and l n ( x ) are inverse of each other . Each one in mirror image of other about y = x line
No intersection ⟹ no solution
