Answer

$\log_3\dfrac{x+7}{4x+6}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of logarithms, the given expression, $ \log_3(x+7)-\log_3(4x+6) $, is equivalent to \begin{align*}\require{cancel} & \log_3\dfrac{x+7}{4x+6} &(\text{use }\log_b \dfrac{x}{y}=\log_b x-\log_b y) .\end{align*} Hence, the expression $ \log_3(x+7)-\log_3(4x+6) $ is equivalent to $ \log_3\dfrac{x+7}{4x+6} $.
