We begin with the equation
$$
6 + 8 \ln x = 5.
$$

**Step 1.** Isolate the logarithm term by subtracting 6 from both sides:
$$
8 \ln x = 5 - 6 = -1.
$$

**Step 2.** Divide both sides by 8:
$$
\ln x = -\frac{1}{8}.
$$

**Step 3.** Rewrite the equation without logarithms by exponentiating both sides (using the definition of the natural logarithm):
$$
x = e^{-\frac{1}{8}}.
$$

Since the domain of $$\ln x$$ requires $$x > 0$$, the solution $$x = e^{-\frac{1}{8}}$$ is valid.

**Exact Solution:**
$$
x = e^{-\frac{1}{8}}.
$$

**Decimal Approximation:**

Using a calculator,
$$
x \approx 0.88.
$$

Thus, the exact solution is $$x = e^{-\frac{1}{8}}$$, and the solution set is
$$
\{e^{-\frac{1}{8}}\}.
$$
The exact solution is $$ x = e^{-\frac{1}{8}} $$, and the solution set is $$ \{e^{-\frac{1}{8}}\} $$.
