SOLUTION: If Log 5= m and Log 7=n, determine log 35/10 (35 over 10) in terms of m and n.
When I tried by myself I got (m+n)/10, according to the correct answer I should have m+n-1.

Thank you for the help! Answer by ramkikk66(644) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm assuming the logarithms m and n are to the base 10.
Applying the basic laws of logs i.e.
Log (A*B) = Log A + log B
Log (A/B) = Log A - Log B
log (35/10) = log 35 - log 10
= log (5*7) - log 10
= log 5 + log 7 - log 10
= m + n - 1 (because log 10 to the base 10 = 1)
So the correct answer is indeed
