The solution

You have entered [src]
log(1/2)*x + 2 = x - 4
$$x \log{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)} + 2 = x - 4$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
log(1/2)*x+2 = x-4

Expand brackets in the left part
log1/2x+2 = x-4

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x \log{\left(2 \right)} = x - 6$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x - x \log{\left(2 \right)} = -6$$
Divide both parts of the equation by (-x - x*log(2))/x
x = -6 / ((-x - x*log(2))/x)

We get the answer: x = 6/(1 + log(2))
