Rewrite the equation 5x/2x−20+7=9 in two equations joined by "and"(1 point) and

To rewrite the equation \( \frac{5x}{2x - 20} + 7 = 9 \) in two equations joined by "and," we can first isolate the fraction on one side of the equation and then set up the two parts separately.

1. Isolate the fraction:
\[
\frac{5x}{2x - 20} = 9 - 7
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{5x}{2x - 20} = 2
\]

2. Now we have two equations:
\[
\frac{5x}{2x - 20} = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2 = 2
\]

So, we can express it as:
\[
\frac{5x}{2x - 20} = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad 2 = 2
\]
