1. **Problem statement:** Evaluate $\log_6 54 + \log_6 2 - \log_6 3$.
2. **Formula used:** The logarithm properties we use are:
- $\log_b (xy) = \log_b x + \log_b y$
- $\log_b \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) = \log_b x - \log_b y$
3. **Step-by-step solution:**
Start with the expression:
$$\log_6 54 + \log_6 2 - \log_6 3$$
Using the addition property of logarithms:
$$= \log_6 (54 \times 2) - \log_6 3$$
Calculate inside the logarithm:
$$= \log_6 108 - \log_6 3$$
Using the subtraction property:
$$= \log_6 \left(\frac{108}{3}\right)$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$= \log_6 36$$
4. **Final evaluation:**
Since $36 = 6^2$, we have:
$$\log_6 36 = \log_6 (6^2) = 2$$
**Answer:** $2$
