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

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
