e x e^{x} and l n ( x ) ln(x) are inverse of each other . Each one in mirror image of other about y = x y=x line

No intersection \implies no solution

10 sec solution would be the graphical one.

The graphs of e x \large e^x & ln ( x ) \large \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

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 e^x and ln ( x ) \ln(x) are inverse of each other and e x e^x and x x don't intersect therefore there is no real solution.
