Step 1.1

Simplify $6 \ln (x + 7)$ by moving $6$ inside the logarithm.

$\ln ({(x + 7)}^{6}) - 5 \ln (x)$

Step 1.2

Simplify $- 5 \ln (x)$ by moving $5$ inside the logarithm.

$\ln ({(x + 7)}^{6}) - \ln (x^{5})$

Step 2

Use the quotient property of logarithms, $\log_{b} (x) - \log_{b} (y) = \log_{b} (\frac{x}{y})$ .

$\ln (\frac{{(x + 7)}^{6}}{x^{5}})$
