The sum of two numbers is 60. The greater number is 6 more than the smaller number. Which equation can be used to solve for the smaller number?


x + (x + 6) = 60


x − (x + 6) = 60


x(x + 6) = 60


x(x− 6) = 60

Let's assume x be the smaller number.


Given that, The greater number is 6 more than the smaller number.


So, greater number= x+6.


It's also given that, The sum of two numbers is 60. Which means sum of x and x+6 must be equal to 60. Therefore,


x + (x + 6) = 60

Answer:

x + (x + 6) = 60
