You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(5) + log(10) - log(2) 

On the first two terms, use this rule:

Taking a log out of the addition of logs changes the
addition to multiplication:

log(5·10) - log(2)

log(50) - log(2)

On those two terms, use this rule:

Taking a log out of the subtraction of logs changes the
subtraction to division:

log%2850%2F2%29

log(25)
