To rewrite the equation \( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) as two equations joined by "and," we first simplify the original equation:

1. Combine like terms:
\( 52x - 9 = 9 \)

2. Set the equation equal to the number on the right side:
\( 52x - 9 = 9 \)

Now add 9 to both sides:

\( 52x = 18 \)

Next, divide both sides by 52:

\( x = \frac{18}{52} \)

Simplifying \( \frac{18}{52} \):

\( x = \frac{9}{26} \)

Now, we need to express the equation in the required form. The equation can be rewritten as:

\( 52x - 9 = 9 \) and \( x \neq \frac{9}{26} \)

Thus, the correct rewrite of the original equation is:

**\( 52x - 9 = 9 \) and \( x \neq \frac{9}{26} \)**

Among the provided options, none appear to be directly consistent with this. However, if you're looking for a generalized structure, here's the most relevant transformation based on the context of the original question.

Make sure to check which options you need to select based on the context as the above conclusions might differ if any specific condition is set for \( x \).

Which one is most correct

To find the most correct representation of the original equation \( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) rewritten as two equations joined by "and," we first simplify and analyze:

1. Original equation:
\[
52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \quad \text{(which simplifies to)} \quad 52x - 9 = 9
\]

2. By rearranging, we can directly say:
\[
52x - 9 = 9 \quad \text{(correctly means it's balanced when solved.)}
\]

3. We could also imply that there should be a value where \( x \) is not equal to some constant if a domain is given.

None of the given options are directly representing this setup clearly, but considering logic, it’s likely about defining \( x \neq k \) for some specific integer.

Now, from the provided responses, let's briefly analyze them:

1. **\( 52x - 8 = 9 \) and \( x \neq -8 \)**: Incorrect, cause the first part isn't the correct arrangement.

2. **\( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) and \( x \neq -4 \)**: Not matching since the condition for \( x \) is wrong.

3. **\( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) and \( x \neq 8 \)**: Same as above, incorrect.

4. **\( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) and \( x \neq 4 \)**: Indeterminable for basic algebra without a defined context.

Looking at these options, none correctly convey \( x = \frac{9}{26} \), nor accurately depict mathematical logic.

Given the situation, it appears the goal is likely the simplest form and a constraint, thus cite the following as the best fit despite it not fitting perfectly:

- **Responses can imply So**: **\( 52x - 8 - 1 = 9 \) and \( x \neq \text{constant} \)** potentially matches closest if constraints are assumed matching problematic outputs.

In terms of alignment and clarity based on mathematical correctness given the algebra, **none** of the four provided options truly satisfy. You may either refer back to the original context you started or seek clarification on whether other exclusions might yield a clearer point of discussion among them.
