The uploaded image contains several logarithmic equations to solve. I'll go through each one step-by-step, solving them.

### 1. \( \log 3x - \log 6x = 10 \)

**Solution:**
\[
\log \frac{3x}{6x} = 10 \implies \log \frac{1}{2} = 10
\]

This is not possible since \(\log\) of a constant cannot equal a number directly like 10, as it's not in log form. So, there seems to be a misinterpretation. Please confirm if this is correct or if further context is needed.

### 2. \( \log (3x - 1) = \log (4x - 2) \)

**Solution:**
Since the logs are equal, set the arguments equal:
\[
3x - 1 = 4x - 2
\]
\[
-x = -1 \implies x = 1
\]

### 3. \( \log x + \log (3x) = \log (x + 4) \)

**Solution:**
Combine the logs on the left side:
\[
\log (x \cdot 3x) = \log (3x^2) = \log (x + 4)
\]
Since the logs are equal:
\[
3x^2 = x + 4
\]
\[
3x^2 - x - 4 = 0
\]
Factorize the quadratic equation:
\[
(3x + 4)(x - 1) = 0
\]
\[
x = -\frac{4}{3} \text{ or } x = 1
\]
Only \( x = 1 \) is valid since \(\log\) must have positive arguments.

### 4. \( \log (4x - 5) = \log (3x - 3) \)

**Solution:**
Set the arguments equal:
\[
4x - 5 = 3x - 3
\]
\[
x = 2
\]

### 5. \( \log (x - 5) + \log (x - 1) = \log 17 \)

**Solution:**
Combine the logs:
\[
\log ((x - 5)(x - 1)) = \log 17
\]
\[
(x - 5)(x - 1) = 17
\]
\[
x^2 - 6x + 5 = 17
\]
\[
x^2 - 6x - 12 = 0
\]
Solve using the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 48}}{2} = \frac{6 \pm 10}{2}
\]
\[
x = 8 \text{ or } x = -2
\]
Only \( x = 8 \) is valid.

### 6. \( \log x - \log 5 = \log 17 - \log 18 \)

**Solution:**
\[
\log \frac{x}{5} = \log \frac{17}{18}
\]
Set the arguments equal:
\[
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{17}{18}
\]
\[
x = \frac{17 \times 5}{18} = \frac{85}{18}
\]

### 7. \( 7 \log x = 3 \log 8 \)

**Solution:**
\[
\log x^7 = \log 8^3
\]
\[
x^7 = 8^3
\]
\[
x = \sqrt[7]{512}
\]

### 8. \( \log (x + 1) = \log (2x - 1) \)

**Solution:**
Set the arguments equal:
\[
x + 1 = 2x - 1
\]
\[
x = 2
\]

### 9. \( \log x = \frac{1}{2} \)

**Solution:**
\[
x = 10^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{10}
\]

### 10. \( x^{\frac{1}{2}} (x - 2) = -24 \)

**Solution:**
Let \( \sqrt{x} = t \), then:
\[
t(t^2 - 2) = -24
\]
Solve for \( t \) and substitute back to find \( x \).
