First, simplify the expression using the properties of logarithms:
log5(3/5) + 3log5(15/2) - log5(81/3)
= log5(3) - log5(5) + 3(log5(15) - log5(2)) - log5(27)
= log5(3) - log5(5) + 3(log5(15) - log5(2)) - log5(3^3)
= log5(3) - log5(5) + 3(log5(15) - log5(2)) - log5(3 x 3 x 3)
= log5(3) - log5(5) + 3(log5(15) - log5(2)) - 3
Now, apply the logarithmic properties:
= log5(3) - log5(5) + log5((15)^3/(2^3)) - 3
= log5(3 x 15^3/2^3) - log5(5) - 3
= log5(3 x 3375/8) - log5(5) - 3
= log5(10125/8) - log5(5) - 3
= log5(1265) - log5(5) - 3
Since we cannot simplify the expression any further, this is the final solution.
Solve log5(3/5) + 3log5(15/2)- log5(81/3)
