You must use parentheses to clarify equations.
One possible interpretation of what you posted:
.
x+5/2 = 9- x+6/3
.
%28x%2B5%29%2F2=9-%28x%2B6%29%2F3
.
x%2B5=18-%282x%2B12%29%2F3
.
x%2B5=%2854%2F3%29-%282x%2B12%29%2F3
.
x%2B5=%2854-2x-12%29%2F3
.
3x%2B15=-2x%2B42
.
5x=27
.
x=27%2F5=5.4
.
ANSWER: x=5.4
.
CHECK:
.
%28x%2B5%29%2F2=9-%28x%2B6%29%2F3
.
%285.4%2B5%29%2F2=9-%285.4%2B6%29%2F3
.
10.4%2F2=9-%2811.4%2F3%29
.
5.2=%2827%2F3%29-%2811.4%2F3%29
.
5.2=15.6%2F3
.
5.2=5.2
.
