There is nothing there to solve.
If you want to add those up then:

That is exactly what I posted.
Now you do some work for yourself.
Re: Logarithmic Relationships
Okay, so just Do that and replace L With 3?

As Plato demonstrated, you can use this property of logarithms:
.
Then combine like terms. You should familiarize yourself with basic logarithmic identities. Consult your textbook for information.

I'm a little bit confused about the writing of this sum ...
Could it be that the original term was:
 - \log_3(27) + \log_3(243))
If so the final result is 4.

9L + 27L + 243L = 279L; where L = log(3)
279log(3) is the single logarithm
Use your calculator to find the value the appropriate base as it wasn't detailed here (assuming base e or base 10)
