We want to write the following expression


6\log_7u+5\log_7v

as a single expression. To do that, first, we're going to use the following property


a\log_bx=\log_bx^a

Applying this property in our expression, we can rewrite it as


6\operatorname{\log}_7u+5\operatorname{\log}_7v=\operatorname{\log}_7u^6+\operatorname{\log}_7v^5

Then, using the following property


\log_ax+\log_ay=\log_a(x\cdot y)

we can rewrite our expression as


\operatorname{\log}_7u^6+\operatorname{\log}_7v^5=\operatorname{\log}_7u^6v^5
