The statement \( \frac{3}{\log_2 a} - \frac{2}{\log_4 a} = \frac{1}{\log_{1/2} a} \) is proven true by applying logarithmic identities. Specifically, the rule \( \log_a(b^c) = c \cdot \log_a(b) \) simplifies the left-hand side, while the conversion of bases using \( \log_4 a = \frac{\log_2 a}{2} \) and \( \log_{1/2} a = -\log_2 a \) clarifies the right-hand side. The manipulation of these logarithmic properties leads to the conclusion that both sides of the equation are equivalent.
