You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log2 (5) - log2 (15) + log2 (24)
-----------------
logs are exponents.
When you subtract exponents you are dividing some numbers
When you add exponents you are multiplying some numbers
----------------------
Your problem involves subtracting (divide) and adding (multiply):
= logc [5*24/15]
= log2 [8]
= 3
