Answer

TRUE

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of logarithms, the left-hand expression, $ \log_6 60-\log_6 10 $, is equivalent to \begin{align*} & \log_6 \dfrac{60}{10} &(\text{use }\log_b \dfrac{x}{y}=\log_b x-\log_b y) \\\\&= \log_6 6 \\\\&= 1 &(\text{use }\log_b b=1) .\end{align*} Thus, the left-hand expression is equivalent to the given right-hand expression. Hence, the given statement is true.
