Given the equation, we can solve through steps:

1. Distribute

1/2 • x = 1/2x
1/2 • 6 = 3

2. Simplify

1/2x + 3 = 1/2x - 9

3. Add 3 to both sides

1/2x + 3 + 3 = 1/2x - 9 + 3

Step 4. Simplify

1/2x + 6 = 1/2x - 6

We have our solution: there is no solution. The coefficients are of a common value and the constant is comprised of opposite integers.
