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

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 equa to 52. Hence,

x + (x + 4) = 52

its B x + (x + 4) = 52
