Let's look at restrictions first:
X can't = 1, 2, or -5
If X equals any of these the log wouldn't exist at log(0).
--
step #1 - place all front numbers in exponents (power rule)

--
step #2 - add of logs means multiply information and subtract means divide information. SO,
log
---
step #3 - simplify the numerator. This is not the fun step . . .
log
