Using the power rule of logarithms: $n\log_b(a)=\log_b(a^n)$, where $n$ equals $2$
Applying the product rule for logarithms: $\log_b\left(MN\right)=\log_b\left(M\right)+\log_b\left(N\right)$
For two logarithms of the same base to be equal, their arguments must be equal. In other words, if $\ln(a)=\ln(b)$ then $a$ must equal $b$
Divide both sides of the equation by $x^2$
