All you need to do for this is remove the parenthese and your answer will be 
because that's the furthest it can be simplified.
Remember the properties of logarithms. If you have ln81, you can pull out the power of two (9^2) and have 2ln9. Also, you could do ln9 + ln9 because 9*9=81 and ln9*9 = ln9 + ln9
With these properties, you can get 3lnx+2lny, which is 3u+2v according to the answer.
Hope I helped!
Amount earned by Sharon per item sold = $25
Base salary of Sharon per week = $100
Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = $700
Let us assume the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x
Then
100 + 25x = 700
25x = 700 - 100
25x = 600
x = 600/25
= 24
So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of $700 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.
