I'm trying to bring this expression:
$$frac56logleft(frac54right) - frac16log(2)$$
To this one:
$$logleft(frac54right) - frac16logleft(frac52right)$$
Where $log$ is the natural algorithm.
I know the two expressions are equal (checked with wolfram) but I really can't find the correct passages... Could you please help me?

$frac56logleft(frac54right)-frac16log(2)=logleft(frac54right)-frac16logleft(frac54right)-frac16log(2)$
$= logleft(frac54right)-(frac16logleft(frac54right)+frac16log(2))$
$=logleft(frac54right)-frac16logleft(frac5cdot24right)$
$=logleft(frac54right)-frac16logleft(frac52right)$
I should add: Subtracting logs is equivalent to division. The reason for potential problems here is $fracfracabc = fracabcdot c$ and not $fraca(fracbc)$

Ty very much for the hint, I was on the right road, but missed the last passage that, imho, Phil stated very simply and clear

We have
$$frac56logleft(frac54right) - frac16log 2=overbracefrac56logleft(frac54right)+colorredfrac16logleft(frac54right) -overbracecolorredfrac16logleft(frac54right)- frac16log 2=$$
$$=logleft(frac54right)-frac16 logleft(frac52right)$$
indeed recall that $log A+ log B= log AB$ and therefore
$$-frac16logleft(frac54right)- frac16log 2=-frac16left[logleft(frac54right)+log 2right]=-frac16logleft(frac54cdot 2right)=-frac16logleft(frac52right)$$

$$small
