order of operations LOGARITHMS

Hello!

I've searched the web and I read the rules of logarithms on mathisfun, but I still don't get it!

I try to solve ln 4 - ln 2 + ln 3

I get (first dividing) ln 6 and,
(first multiplication) ln 4/6

What am I doing wrong?

Re: order of operations LOGARITHMS

Ln(4) _ ln(2) + ln(3) = ln(4 x 3/2) = ln(12/2)=ln(6)

Add the plus and divide the minus
