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? (5 points) x − (x + 4) = 52
x + (x + 4) = 52
x(x + 4) = 52
x(x − 4) = 52

x+(x+4)=52

Step-by-step explanation:

let the small number be x

The greater number is 4 more than the small number=x+4

sum of numbers= x+ (x+4)

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
