We can start by solving for x in the given equation:

x + 1/2 = 5

x = 5 - 1/2

x = 9/2

Now, we can substitute this value of x into the expression 2*x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3/x +2/x^2:

2*(9/2)^2 - 3*(9/2) + 6 - 3/(9/2) + 2/(9/2)^2

Simplifying each term, we get:

2*(81/4) - 27/2 + 6 - 6/9 + 2/(81/4)

81/2 - 27/2 + 6 - 2/3 + 8/81

Combining like terms, we get:

162/2 - 54/2 + 12/2 - 4/6 + 16/162

72 + 2/3

Therefore, the value of the expression 2*x^2 - 3x + 6 - 3/x +2/x^2 when x + 1/2 = 5 is 72 2/3.
