: Ugh is all I can say with this and some others I will be posting.
Am I to subtract the log5's and add the ones in the ()?
Question (not in book):
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.
log5(x + 4) - log5(x + 1)

log%285%2C%28x+%2B+4%29%29+-+log%285%2C%28x+%2B+1%29%29+ Start with the given expression

log%285%2C%28%28x+%2B+4%29%2F%28x+%2B+1%29%29%29+ Combine the logarithms using the identity log%28b%2Cx%29-log%28b%2Cy%29=log%28b%2C%28x%2Fy%29%29
