52x−8=9 and x≠−8
Start Fraction 5 over 2 x minus 8 End Fraction equals 9 and x does not equal negative 8

52x−8−1=9 and x≠8
Start Fraction 5 over 2 x minus 8 End Fraction minus 1 equals 9 and x does not equal 8

52x−8−1=9 and x≠4
Start Fraction 5 over 2 x minus 8 End Fraction minus 1 equals 9 and x does not equal 4

52x−8−1=9 and x≠−4

Answer 1

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

1. Combine like terms: \( 52x - 9 = 9 \)
2. Rearranging it gives: \( 52x - 9 = 9 \) or \( 52x = 18 \)

Now, let's rewrite it correctly:

The simplified equation is:

1. \( 52x - 9 = 9 \) and \( x \text{ is valid for } x \neq \text{Any non-restricted value} \)

However, based on your options, the equation could also signify domain restrictions or conditions. The equation is a linear equation and doesn't inherently restrict x until we define the context. Therefore, the best representation of your original question that makes sense with the problem as given is:

The first choice is incorrect if we are taking a direct approach from the original equation.

None of the provided options appear correct if strictly written as per your ask unless there are additional restrictions you need to include.

A more accurate answer could simply be:

1. \( 52x - 9 = 9 \) and specifies \( x \neq 9/26 \) (after solving x).

If you provided extra context or a clarification on what the restrictions should be, I’d be happy to help!
