Question

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:**
\[ 32 = 32 \text{ and } -9 = -9 \]
make this smaller

Answer 1

To simplify the original equation:

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

we start by combining the constants on the right side. This gives us:

\[
-25 + 9 + 7 = -25 + 16 = -9
\]

Thus, the equation simplifies to:

\[
32 = -9
\]

Since this is not correct, we realize that the original equation does not hold true. Instead, we can affirm the true statements derived from simplifying:

1. \( 32 = 32 \) (true)
2. \( -9 = -9 \) (true)

So we can summarize the valid statements simply as:

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