logs are pretty ez bro.
there be three r00lz:
1) if you are adding to logs, you can combine the two logs by multiplying by the numbers "inside"
ex: log 2 + log 3 = log (2*3) = log 6
2) if you are subtracting logs, you can combine two logs by dividing by the numbers "inside"
ex: log 6 - log 3 = log (6/3) = log 2
3) if you have an exponent in a log, you can move that exponent to the front and distribute it
ex: log 6^(x-1) = (x-1) * log 6 = (x * log 6) - log 6
