Use properties of logarithms to condense the logarithmic expression. Write the expression as a single logarithm whose coefficient is 1. Where possible, evaluate logarithmic expressions without using a calculator.
logx+log(x^2-49)-log14-log(x+7)
=logx+log(x^2-49)-(log14+log(x+7))
=log[x(x^2-49)/14(x+7)]
=log[x(x+7)(x-7)/14(x+7)]
=log[x(x-7)/14]
