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
