To rewrite the equation \( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) as two equations joined by "and," we first simplify the left side and then isolate \( x \).

Starting with:
\[ 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \]

Simplifying it:
\[ 52x - 9 = 9 \]

Now, we can break this down into two parts. The first equation will be the simplified version, and the second will represent conditions based on the original expression (checking where the equation may be undefined or any other relevant conditions based on context).

The two equations can be structured as:
\[ 52x - 9 = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad \text{(condition)} \]

Based on the setup, the answer that fits is:
\[ 52x - 9 = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad x \neq 4 \]
Thus, the complete expression can be:
\[ 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad x \neq 4 \]

So the correct response would be:
**\( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) and \( x \neq 4 \)**.
