Move all the logarithms on the left hand side, and all the constants on the other:

\log_2(x-2) - \log_2(x) = -1

Use the rule of logarithms

\log_a(b) - \log_a(c) = \log_a\left(\dfrac{b}{c}\right)

To rewrite the equation as

\log_2\left(\dfrac{x-2}{x}\right) = -1

Evaluate 2 to the power of each side:

\dfrac{x-2}{x} = 2^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2x:

2(x-2) = x \iff 2x-4 = x \iff x = 4

1 + log₂(x - 2) = log₂(x)

1 = log₂(x) - log₂(x - 2)

1 = log₂\frac{x}{x - 2}

2¹ = \frac{x}{x - 2}

2(x - 2) = x

2x - 4 = x

    -4 = -x

     4 = x

Answer: 4
