Re write the exponentian equatiin in equivalent logarithmic form
1) e=7.389
--------------------------------------
if possible write the expressions using sums and/or difference of logarithmic expressions that do not contain the logarithms of products, quotients, or powers
1) ln(x(7-x)3)
2) ln(xy2/z)

1) When there is multiplication within the log expression you can break it into parts and add them together.
 
ln(x(7-x)^3)
 
ln(x)+ln(7-x)^3
 
With the ln(7-x)^3 you can take the power of 3 and move it to the log expression as so-
 
3ln(7-x)
 
So the final answer is
ln(x)+3ln(7-x)

2) When there is division within the log you break the expression into parts and subtract the expressions. When there is multiplication within the log expression you break the expression into parts and add the expressions.
 
ln(xy^2/z)
 
ln(xy^2)-ln(z)
 
ln(x)+ln(y^2)-ln(z)
 
With ln(y^2) you can move the power of 2 to the left of the expression, so
 
2ln(y)
 
So the final answer is 
ln(x)+2ln(y)-ln(z)
