Here we can apply a function known as the Lambert W function. If =

satisfies that condition, so we have 3 real solutions overall. One real solution for the positive input, and 2 real solutions for the negative input.

I used python to calculate the values. The dps property is the level of decimal precision, because the mpmath library does arbitrary precision math. For the 3rd output line, the -1 parameter gives us the second real solution for small negative inputs. If you are interested in complex solutions, you can change that second parameter to other integer values. 0 is the default number for that parameter.
