Simplify: (log(40) - log(20)) + log(3)

First, know the log rule: log(x) - log(y) = log(x/y)Second, know the log rule: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)So, starting with the brackets: log(40) -log(20) = log(40/20) which is log(2).Now we have: log(2) + log(3).So, using the other log rule we can do: log(2) + log(3) = log(23) which is log(6).Therefore, (log(40) - log(20)) + log(3) = log(6)
