First of all, what is the problem you're trying to solve?

1. 3\log\,5^a+4\log\,5^b-2\log\,5^c\,, which is what you literally wrote.

or

2. 3\log_5\ a+4\log_5\,b-2\log_5\,c\,, which is more likely.

thats what I'm trying to solve

Try to refer to these laws:

log_aV + log_aW = log_aVW

log_aV - log_aW = log_a(V/W)

and

Ulog_aV = log_aV^U

Just try to apply these laws to your problem.
