Answer

$\log_6 x^{29/4}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of logarithms, the given expression, $ 5\log_6 x-\dfrac{3}{4}\log_6 x+3\log_6 x ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 5\log_6 x+3\log_6 x-\dfrac{3}{4}\log_6 x \\\\= \log_6 x^5+\log_6 x^3-\log_6 x^{\frac{3}{4}} \\\\= \log_6 \dfrac{x^5\cdot x^3}{x^{\frac{3}{4}}} \\\\= \log_6 x^{5+3-\frac{3}{4}} \\\\= \log_6 x^{\frac{20}{4}+\frac{12}{4}-\frac{3}{4}} \\\\= \log_6 x^{\frac{29}{4}} \\\\= \log_6 x^{29/4} .\end{array}
