!Logarithms and Index Laws help!

Ive been trying to complete a revision sheet but it has logarithims and index laws, and i don't know how to do them. I've included a few of the hardest questions frome the revision sheet in the attachment.


...Look at attachment....



I've tried the first question fir the logs:
Log 6 + Log 4
So i separated the two logs and didthem sepratly:
Log 6
x = Log^10 (6)
10^x = 6?

Log 4
x = Log^10 (4)
10 = 4 ?

Then i get stuck there, could someone please show me an example so i can attempt the rest of the questions on the sheet.

And with the index laws i couldn't even start, had no idea wat to do.

can someone please help!

umm... i don't know if this is what they are asking for...
log4+log6 = log24
is that simplifying?
 


THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RITE, THEN I CAN JUST SIMPLIFY IT further.
 


can someone else check it as well, cus I'm still a little confused.
 


So Log 24
x = Log^10 (24)
then get rid of the log:
10^x = 24^?
But wat power should 24 be so that it equals 10.

is this even correct?

Someone please help.

No further simplification. That is the answer.
 


Really, so its just Log 24?
