Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

Given equation:

((5x-2))/(2)=2x+9

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

$\implies 2 \cdot ((5x-2))/(2)=2 \cdot (2x+9)$

$\implies 5x-2=4x+18$

Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation:

$\implies 5x-2-4x=4x+18-4x$

$\implies x-2=18$

Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

$\implies x-2+2=18+2$

$\implies x=20$
