I suspect a typo, since
log3(√10+1)+log3(√10+1) = log3(10-1) = log3(9) = 2
the log7 of powers of 2 is not amenable to simplification.
Is there a typo? At the very least, the parentheses are not balanced.
(2*log7 16)/(log3(√10+1)+log3(√10-1)log7 2

Fractions have implicit parenthese around the denominator and numerator.
I have a feeling that the two log3 terms both belong to the denominator, in which case the expression should have been written, according to the BEDMAS rules,
(2*log7 16)/((log3(√10+1)+log3(√10-1)log7 2 )
in which case:
(2*log724)/((log3(√10+1)(√10-1) log7 2 )
=(8*log72)/((log3(10-1) log7 2 )
=(8*log72)/((log3(9) log7 2 )
=(8*log72)/(2 log7 2 )
=4

Just a lucky guess, but you were right in the first place!
