This equation uses two properties of logarithms:


So you could take the ln from left and right hand side in the equation, and get:
(2-x)ln 3 = x ln 5
then
2 ln 3 - x ln 3 - x ln 5 = 0 =>
x(ln 3 + ln 5) = 2 ln 3
so x = 2 ln 3 / (ln3 + ln5)
Now using the 1st property you can say 2 ln 3 is ln 3² = ln9
and using the 2nd property you can say ln3 + ln5 = ln15
so x= ln9 / ln15
Simplify the expression

It can be simplified as below:

The probability is 1/5.

How to find the probability?</h3>
There are 3 red marbles and 3 white marbles, for a total of 6.
The probability that the first marble is red is:
P(red) = 3/6
The probability that the second marble is also red is:
P(red') = 2/5 (because now there are 2 red marbles and a total of 5).
The joint probability is:
P = (3/6)*(2/5) = 1/5
