Use the general rules:
+log%28a%29+%2B+log%28b%29+=+log%28a%2Ab%29+
+log%28a%29+-+log%28b%29+=+log%28a%2Fb%29+
+log+x+%2B+log%28x%5E2+-+16%29+-+log+14+-+log%28x%2B4%29+
+log%28+%28x%2A%28x%5E2-16%29%29+%2F+%2814%2A%28x%2B4%29%29+%29+
+log%28+%28x%2A%28x%2B4%29%2A%28x-4%29%29%2F+%2814%2A%28x%2B4%29%29+%29+
+log%28+%28x%2A%28x-4%29%29%2F14+%29+
+log%28+%28x%5E2+-+4x%29%2F14+%29+
