Answer:


\displaystyle 12 \log_(5)( {x}^{} {)}^{} - 6 \log_(5)(y ^{} )

Explanation:

we would like to expand the following


\displaystyle \log_(5)\bigg( \frac{{x}^(2)}{y} \bigg) ^(6)

since we have a division of two different variable we can consider using division logarithm rule


\displaystyle \log_(5)( {x}^(2) {)}^(6) - \log_(5)(y) ^(6)

use law of exponent:


\displaystyle \log_(5)( {x}^(12) {)}^{} - \log_(5)(y ^(6) )

by exponent logarithm rule we acquire:


\displaystyle 12 \log_(5)( {x}^{} {)}^{} - 6 \log_(5)(y ^{} )

and we are done!
