Question

To rewrite the equation \( 32 = -25 + 9 - x + x + 7 \) as two equations joined by "and," first simplify the right side:
1. Combine like terms:
\(-25 + 9 + 7 = -9\)

So, the equation simplifies to:
\[ 32 = -9 \]

Now, to express this as two equations, we can take the equation \( -9 = -9 \) (which is always true) and pair it with \( 32 = -9 \) as:

32 = -9 and -9 = -9.

However, \( 32 = -9 \) is not a valid or true statement. Therefore, we use a common approach to separate the original equation into two components:

1. First equation: \( -25 + 9 - x + x = -9 \)
2. Second equation: \( 32 = -9 \)

Thus, separating the process we have:

\( 32 = 32 \) and \( -9 = -9 \).

So we can correctly represent them as:

**Answer:**
\( 32 = -25 + 9 - x + x \) and \( x + 7 = 7 \).make this like a 6th grader wrote it

Answer 1

Alright! Let's break it down in a way that a 6th grader would understand:

We start with the equation:

\[ 32 = -25 + 9 - x + x + 7 \]

First, we need to simplify the right side. We can combine the numbers together!

1. Adding these together:
\(-25 + 9 + 7\) gives us \(-25 + 9 = -16\) and then \(-16 + 7 = -9\).

So now our equation looks like this:

\[ 32 = -9 \]

Now, we can turn this into two separate statements. One way to do it is to say:

1. The first equation, taking away \(x\) since it cancels out in this case, is:
\(-25 + 9 = -9\)

2. The second equation is:
\(32 = -9\) (but that's not true).

Instead, let's choose something that makes more sense. We can use:

1. \(32 = 32\) (which is true!)
2. \(-9 = -9\) (which is also true!)

So, we can say:

**Answer:**
\[ 32 = 32 \text{ and } -9 = -9 \]

Both of these statements are true, and they connect nicely!
