Answer: 103/15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify the right-hand side to be [tex]2 \left(\frac{1}{3}+6 \right)=2 \left(\frac{19}{3} \right)=\frac{38}{3}[/tex].
This means we need to solve:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(5x-9)=\frac{38}{3}\\5x-9=\frac{76}{3}\\5x=\frac{103}{3}\\x=\boxed{\frac{103}{15}}[/tex]
