Answer:

2

Explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms


log_(b) x = n ⇒ x =
b^(n)

let


log_(2) 8 = n ⇒ 8 =
2^(n) , that is

2³ =
2^(n) ( equate exponents )

n = 3

and let


log_(3) (
(1)/(3) ) = n ⇒
(1)/(3) =
3^(n) , that is


3^(-1) =
3^(n) ( equate exponents )

n = - 1

then


log_(2) 8 +
log_(3) (
(1)/(3) )

= 3 + (- 1)

= 3 - 1

= 2
