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 $fraca(fracbc)$

            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



            $$-frac16logleft(frac54right)- frac16log 2=-frac16left[logleft(frac54right)+log 2right]=-frac16logleft(frac54cdot 2right)=-frac16logleft(frac52right)$$

              Alt. hint:   by brute force, using only $,log fracab = log a - log b,$ and $,log a^n = n log a,$:



              $$small
              frac56logfrac54 - frac16log 2 = frac16left(5 log 5 - 5 log 4-log 2right) = frac16left(5 log 5 - 10 log 2-log 2right) = frac16left(5 log 5 - 11 log 2right)
              $$



              Now do the same for $,log frac54 - frac16log frac52,$ and compare.
