To rewrite the equation 5/2x - 8 - 1 = 9 as two equations joined by "and," we need to isolate the variable x.
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms on the left side:
5/2x - 9 = 9
Next, let's isolate the variable x by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
5/2x = 9 + 9
5/2x = 18
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5/2 to solve for x:
(5/2x)/(5/2) = 18/(5/2)
x = 18/(5/2)
x = 18 * 2/5
x = 36/5
So, the equation is rewritten as:
5/2x - 8 - 1 = 9 and x ≠ 36/5
