Final answer:

The sum of log subscript 5(3) plus log subscript 5(8) can be expressed as log subscript 5(24).

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of log subscript 5(3) plus log subscript 5(8) can be expressed as log subscript 5(24).



We can use the property of logarithms that states log(a) + log(b) = log(a * b) to simplify the expression.



So, log subscript 5(3) + log subscript 5(8) = log subscript 5(3 * 8) = log subscript 5(24).
