Answer

$\log_7{\left(\dfrac{32}{y^2}\right)}$

Work Step by Step

Recall: (1) $n \cdot \log_a{b} = \log_a{\left(b^n\right)}$ (2) $\log_a{b}+\log_a{c}=\log_a{(bc)}$ (3) $\log_a{b} - \log_a{c}=\log_a{\left(\frac{b}{c}\right)}$ Use rule (1) above to obtain: \begin{align*} 5\log_7{2}-2\log_7{y}&=\log_7{\left(2^5\right)}-\log_7{\left(y^2\right)}\\ &=\log_7{32}-\log_7{\left(y^2\right)} \end{align*} Use rule (3) above to obtain: \begin{align*} \log_7{\left(32\right)}-\log_7{\left(y^2\right)}&=\log_7{\left(\frac{32}{y^2}\right)}\\ \end{align*}
