How would you rewrite this into a single expression > log6+log5-log8?
When you take a 'LOG' out of a 'PLUS', you leave a 'TIMES' inside.
When you take a 'LOG' out of a 'MINUS', you leave a 'DIVIDED BY' inside.

log6 + log5 - log8

First I'll take the LOG out of the first two, which ia a "PLUS"

log(6×5) - log8

(See how when I took the LOG out of the log6 + log5, which has a PLUS between
the first two terms. it left a "TIMES" inside, 6 TIMES 5", so the answer so far
is

log30 - log8

That's a "MINUS', and when you take a 'LOG' out of a 'MINUS', you leave
a 'DIVIDED BY' inside.

log(30%2F8)

(See how when I took the LOG out of the log30 - log8, which has a MINUS between
the two terms. it left a "DIVIDED BY" inside, "30 OVER 8", so the answer so
far is log30%2F8, but the fraction inside reduces and the final answer is

log15%2F4
