Answer:
log (x^3y )

Explanation:

First we want to make the coefficients of the log the exponents of what is in the log


3 log (x) + 2 log (y) - log (y)\\log (x^3) + log (y^2) - log (y)

Now adding two log with the same base is the same as multiplying what you are taking the log of


log (x^3) + log (y^2) - log (y)\\log (x^3y^2) - log (y)

Now subtracting two logs with the same base is the same as dividing what you are taking the log of


log (x^3y^2) - log (y)\\log ((x^3y^2)/(y) )

Now we simplify

The
y^2 cancels out the y in the denomiator


log (x^3y^2) - log (y)\\log (x^3y )
