the sum of two numbers is 52. the greater number is 4 more than the smaller number. which equation can be used to solve for the smaller number?
x − (x + 4) = 52
x + (x + 4) = 52
x(x + 4) = 52
x(x − 4) = 52

x + (x + 4) = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume x be the smaller number.

Given that, The greater number is 4 more than the smaller number.

So, greater number= x+4.

it's also given that, The sum of two numbers is 52. Which means sum of x and x+4 must be equal to 52. SO...

x + (x + 4) = 52

Hope this helped have an amazing day! :)
