Use the properties of logarithms to write the following expression as one logarithm. 3 ln(x) + 2 ln(y) − 4 ln(x + 1)

Please show your work and explain, I would like to learn how to complete this type of problem!

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! the log properties say that when logs are multiplied as log(xy), they can be expanded and added like log(x)+log(y). when logs are divided like log(x/y), they can be expanded as log(x)-log(y). when the log has an exponent like log(x^y), the exponent can be added to the front of the log like ylog(x). we can use these properties for this problem.

ln(x^3)+ln(y^2)-ln((x+1)^4)

ln(x^3*y^2)-ln((x+1)^4)

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
