$28+12x=8x-4 \ \ |\ subtract\ 8x\ to\ both\ sides \\ \\ 28+12x-8x=8x-8x-4 \\ \\28+4x=-4 \ \ |\ subtract\ 28\ to\ both\ sides \\\\28-28+4x=-4-28\\\\4x=-32 \ \ | \ divide \ both \ sides\ by\ 4\\\\x=-\frac{32}{4}\\\\x=-8$

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{11}{21}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x+\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\(6)\dfrac{2}{3}-(6)\dfrac{4x+7}{2}=-9x(6)+(6)\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad \text{(multiplied by LCD) }\\\\4 - 12x-21=-54x+5\qquad \text{(simplified)}\\\\-12x - 17 = -54x + 5\qquad \text{(added like terms)}\\\\42x-17=5\qquad \text{(added 54x to both sides)}\\\\42x = 22\qquad \text{(added 17 to both sides)}\\\\x=\dfrac{22}{42}\qquad \text{(divided both sides by 42)}\\\\x=\dfrac{11}{21}\qquad \text{(reduced the fraction)}$
