laws of logarithms:
1. log+%28x%2Ay%29+=+log%28x%29+%2A+log%28y%29
2. log%28x%2Fy%29+=+log%28x%29+-+log%28y%29
3. log%28x%5Ey%29+=+y%2Alog%28x%29

looking at your number 1:
log%287%2B3%29+=+log%287%29+%2B+log%283%29
this doesn't follow any rule above.
-----
looking at your number 2:
log%2810%5E3%29++=+3%2Alog%2810%29
this looks like it follows rule # 3 above.
----
looking at your number 3:
ln%287e%5E10%29+=+10+%2B+ln%287%29
can't say this looks like any of the basic rules of logarithms.

even though I'm not sure you wrote it correctly, number 2 is the only one that looks like it might be true.
The others don't look right.
