You forgot to provide the instructions, so I edited your thread title. What properties of logarithms have you learned? (You need to use a few of them, for this exercise.) These are base-10 logarithms, so you can start with substituting a logarithm for 2: 1/3 ∙ log(a) - 6 ∙ log(b) + log( ? ) The next step is to apply the "power rule" property (shown at the link above). After that, use the other two properties shown. Please show your work. :cool:
