The given expression is:
\[ 2 \ln (x+2) - \ln (x+2) - \ln (2) - 3 \]
First, simplify \(2 \ln (x+2) - \ln (x+2)\):
\[ 2 \ln (x+2) - \ln (x+2) = \ln (x+2) \]
Now, substitute back into the expression:
\[ \ln (x+2) - \ln (2) - 3 \]
Apply the property of logarithms: \(\ln a - \ln b = \ln \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)\):
\[ \ln (x+2) - \ln (2) = \ln \left(\frac{x+2}{2}\right) \]
Substitute back into the expression:
\[ \ln \left(\frac{x+2}{2}\right) - 3 \]
The expression \(\ln \left(\frac{x+2}{2}\right) - 3\) is already simplified.
The simplified expression is:
\[ \boxed{\ln \left(\frac{x+2}{2}\right) - 3} \]
