Given,

1α=loga x=log xlog alog a=αlog x1β=logb x=log xlog blog b=βlog x1γ=logc x=log xlog clog c=γlog x\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{α} = \text{log}a\space x = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log a}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{log a} = α\text{log x} \\[1em] \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{β} = \text{log}b\space x = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log b}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{log b} = β\text{log x} \\[1em] \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{γ} = \text{log}_c\space x = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log c}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{log c} = γ\text{log x} \\[1em] \\[1em]

Solving logabc x we get,

logabc x=log xlog abc=log xlog a + log b + log c=log xαlog x + βlog x + γlog x=log xlog x(α + β + γ)=1(α+β+γ).\Rightarrow \text{log}_\text{abc}\space x = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log abc}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log a + log b + log c}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{αlog x + βlog x + γlog x}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{\text{log x}}{\text{log x(α + β + γ)}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{(\text{α} + \text{β} + \text{γ})}.

Hence, logabc x = 1(α+β+γ)\dfrac{1}{(\text{α} + \text{β} + \text{γ})}.
