$4ln2-ln3-1=ln(16/(3e))$

$4ln2-ln3-1$

We know that: $alnb=lnb^a$ , therefore,

$=ln2^4-ln3-1$
$=ln16-ln3-1$

We know that: $lna-lnb=ln(a*1/b)$ , therefore,

$=ln(16*1/3)-1$
$=ln(16/3)-1$

We know that: $lne=1$ , therefore,

$=ln(16/3)-lne$
$=ln(16/3*1/e)$
$=ln(16/(3e))$

Hence, $4ln2-ln3-1=ln(16/(3e))$
