Answer
$$\ln \left(36\right)$$
Work Step by Step
Using the rules of logarithms, we find:
$$\ln \left(3^2\right)+5\ln \left(2\right)-\ln \left(8\right) \\ \ln \left(3^2\right)+\ln \left(2^5\right)-\ln \left(8\right) \\ \ln \left(2^5\cdot \:3^2\right)-\ln \left(8\right) \\ \ln \left(\frac{288}{8}\right) \\ \ln \left(36\right)$$
