Answer:

x = 9

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
