Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
First remove the parentheses:
1/2 (x - 5) + 5 = 9x - (12x - 6) + 28
Collect the like terms:
1/2 x 5/2 + 5 = 9x - 12x + 6 + 28
Multiply:
1/2 x + 5/2 = 3x + 34
Move the terms:
x + 5 = -6x + 68
Collect like terms again:
x + 6x = 68 - 5
Divide:
7x = 63
Answer:
x = 9
