#log(y xx (7x)/5) = log (y) + log (7) + log (x) - log (5)#

Explanation:

Logarithmic functions are a way of 'linearizing' higher-order functions like multiplication and division. Multiplication becomes 'addition' and division becomes 'subtraction' when in logarithmic form.

#log(y xx (7x)/5)# can be separated into separate log functions added together.
#log(y xx (7x)/5) = log (y) + log (7x) - log (5)# or even further:

#log(y xx (7x)/5) = log (y) + log (7) + log (x) - log (5)#
