Interpret the problem as the equation
-(5x+5)+9 = -1/2(10x+8)+7.
Distribute and simplify each side:
Left: -(5x+5)+9 = -5x - 5 + 9 = -5x + 4.
Right: -1/2(10x+8)+7 = -5x - 4 + 7 = -5x + 3.
So the equation becomes -5x + 4 = -5x + 3. Adding 5x to both sides gives 4 = 3, which is false.
Therefore the equation has no solution (the solution set is empty, ∅).
