<PRE><B>Question 527241</B>
write each expression as a single logarithm with a coefficient of 1. 
ln (3) - 2 ln (4) + ln (8) = ln[3*8/4^2] = ln[24/16] = ln(3/2)
---------------------------------------------- 
ln (3) - 2 ln (4+8) = ln[3/12^2] = ln[3/144]
-------------------------------- 
ln (3) - 2 ln (4) +ln (8) = ln[3*8/4^2] = ln[24/16] =========================================================
