If I understood the statement of your problem correctly, omitting the term k*Log[x] works merely because the mathematical expression is then no longer implicit. Therefore, using your original mathematical expression, it does not look like you are going to be able to generate x = f(y) from y = f(x) in this case. Your original y = f(x) is an implicit function.
