can some one help me condense this logarithm step by step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3\log_{3} 15+2\log_{3} x-\log_{3} 25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Log Law\[n \log_{b} (a) = \log_{b} (a^n)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

law*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so using this own expression becomes :\[\log_{3} (15^3) + \log_{3} (x^2) - \log_{3} 25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now other log laws \[ \log_{a} (x) + \log_{a} (y) = \log_{a} (xy)\] and \[\log_{a} (x) - \log_{a} (y) = \log_{a} (\frac{x}{y}) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so answer = \[\log_{3} ( \frac{ 15^3x^2} {25})\] and you could simplify if you wanted
