One log rule is ln(A)-ln(B) = ln(A/B)
But there isn't a log rule for ln(A-B)
I think there might be a typo in your textbook.
I suppose this could be one pathway to take, but it's a bit convoluted and messy.
x = ln(A)
y = ln(B)
A = e^x
B = e^y
A-B = e^x - e^y
A-B = e^x(1 - e^(y-x))
Ln[A-B] = Ln[ e^x(1 - e^(y-x)) ]
Ln[A-B] = Ln[e^x] + Ln[1 - e^(y-x) ]
Ln[A-B] = 1 + Ln[1 - e^(y-x)]
But we run into the same problem of having a log of the form Ln(something - somethingElse)

.
There is NO general formula for ln(A-B) in terms of x= ln(A) and y= ln(B).
Such general formula DOES NOT EXIST, so leave your hopes to get such a formula.
Who is your teacher/professor, who assigned it to you ?
Did you invent this assignment on your own for yourselves?
