1. Please state what is required: (solve for x, simplify, prove identity, etc.)
2. the parentheses are not balanced, so the expression on the right is ambiguous.
It is recommended to insert extra parentheses whenever there are fractions, divisions or square-roots.
3. in general log means logarithm to the base 10, and ln means natural logarithm, or logarithm to the base e. However, depending on the context, log can also mean either one. When posting, it is a good idea to specify the base when "log" is used, since readers do not know which log you are working on.
