Answer

$\log (\frac{x^2}{(x+1)^3})$

Work Step by Step

$Combine$ $the$ $expression$: $2$$\log x$ - $3$$\log (x+1)$ Apply the Third Law of Logarithms for $2$$\log x$ and $3$$\log (x+1)$ $2$$\log x$ = $\log x^2$ $3$$\log (x+1)$ = $\log (x+1)^3$ $\log x^2$ - $\log (x+1)^3$ Apply the Second Law of logarithms $\log x^2$ - $\log (x+1)^3$ = $\log (\frac{x^2}{(x+1)^3})$
