Question

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

Answer:

x + (x + 4) = 52 is the correct equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

As it is told that one of the number is 4 more than the smaller

So, the number can be (x + 4)

According to the question,

Their sum is 52

Hence,

x + (x + 4) = 52 is the correct equation

Answer 2

X+(x+4)=52 is correct
