Answer

False

Work Step by Step

The product property of logarithms tells us that $log_{b}xy=log_{b}x+log_{b}y$ (where x, y, and, b are positive real numbers and $b\ne1$). Therefore, the term on the right side is equivalent to $ log_{3}(xy)$, which is not equivalent to the term on the left side. This statement is false.
