Step 1.1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \log_{a} (r + \frac{\log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}))$

Step 1.2

To write $r$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \log_{a} (r \cdot \frac{3}{3} + \frac{\log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}))$

Step 1.3

Combine $r$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \log_{a} (\frac{r \cdot 3}{3} + \frac{\log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}))$

Step 1.4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \log_{a} (\frac{r \cdot 3 + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}))$

Step 1.5

Move $3$ to the left of $r$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}))$

Step 1.6

Combine $\log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{\log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3}) \cdot 3}{2})$

Step 1.7

Move $3$ to the left of $\log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q - \frac{3 \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})}{2})$

Step 2

To write $q$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$4 \log_{a} (q \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3 \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})}{2})$

Step 3

Combine $q$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$4 \log_{a} (\frac{q \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3 \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})}{2})$

Step 4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$4 \log_{a} (\frac{q \cdot 2 - 3 \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})}{2})$

Step 5

Move $2$ to the left of $q$ .

$4 \log_{a} (\frac{2 q - 3 \log_{a} (\frac{3 r + \log_{a} (f - 6 \log_{a} (p))}{3})}{2})$
