Starting with the equation:
x/2 - 5 = 9
Add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable term:
x/2 = 14
To solve for x, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2:
2(x/2) = 2(14)
The 2 on the left side cancel out and we are left with:
x = 28
Therefore, the solution is x = 28.
Solve the equation x/2-5=9
