need help with the logarithm problem!!!!?

If loga x = 2, loga y = 6, and loga z = −2, then find loga [ (x^2)(z^3 )] / square root[ (y) ] .so all those terms are in the same bracket just the x and z term for the numerator and the y term in the denominator, with the log a outside of them

Update:

thank you barredo and sarp, i really appreciate you helping me out with this, thanks for going step by step, made it really easy

    loga [ (x^2)(z^3 )] / √y ]

    loga x^2 + loga z^3 - loga √y

    2 loga x + 3 loga z - 1/2 * loga y

    => 2 (2) + 3 (-2) - 1/2* (6)

    => 4 - 6 - 3

    => -2 - 3

    = -5 . .. answer

    If loga x = 2, loga y = 6, and loga z = −2, then find loga [ (x^2)(z^3 )] / square root[ (y) ]

    log [a*b/c] = log a+log b - log c

    so,

    loga [ (x^2)(z^3 )] / square root[ (y) ] = loga x^2+ loga z^3 - loga y^1/2

    = 2 loga x + 3 loga z - 1/2 loga z

    = 2*2 + 3* [-2] - 1/2 *6

    = 4 - 6 - 3

    = 4 - 9

    = -5
