A quick log question

If I have aln(b)+ln(c), (a,b,c are constants),
how do I write this as a single log? Cuz I don't think aln(bc) equivalent to aln(b)+ln(c), right?

Incorporate the "a" multiplier into the log first in alog(b), then do the log addition is multiplication argument.

So is it ln(b^a) + ln(c) then ln((b^a)c)?
