You can put this solution on YOUR website!
condense 6lnx-1-ln3.=LN (X)^6 -LN (E)- LN 3..
i got ln(x^6/3)
YOU MISSED TO PUT 1 = LN E..YOU CAN COMBINE BY ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION ONLY IF ALL TERMS ARE LOGS .YOU CANNOT COMBINE LOGS WITH ORDINARY NUMBERS BY ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION.
but the answer says ln(x^6/3e).
NOW IF YOU PUT 1 =LN E ,THEN YOU WILL GET LN(X^6/3E)
where did the e come from?
HOPE IT IS CLEAR.
