Answer:
2 or [tex] \log_{12} 144 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume 12 is the base.
[tex] \log_{12} 18 + 3 \log_{12} 2 = [/tex]
[tex] = \log_{12} 18 + \log_{12} 2^3 [/tex]
[tex] = \log_{12} (18 \times 8) [/tex]
[tex] = \log_{12} 144 [/tex]
[tex] = \log_{12} 12^2 [/tex]
[tex] = 2\log_{12} 12 [/tex]
[tex] = 2 [/tex]
The entire expression simplifies to 2, but if you need the simplest log expression, then you can use
[tex] \log_{12} 144 [/tex]
