I assume you mean log(bx) = (1/2)log(b4) +(2/3)log(b27) - log(b6) and you want to find x.

Using the properties of logs (see the Formulary) we can write the right-hand side as log(b4*(1/2)) + log(b27*(2/3)) - log(b6), which is log(b2)+log(b18)-log(b6), which is log(b2+18-6), which is log(b14).  Comparing this with log(bx) we can see that x is 14.
