**WILL UPVOTE!!!**

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

Answer 1

x + (x + 4) = 52

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! :)

Answer 2

The equation is x+(x+4)=52
