Question

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

Answer 1

I need help with this now, or I will fail this assignment

Answer 2

52-(x+4)

Answer 3

u just said it backwards

Answer 4

x + (x + 4) = 52

Answer 5

ty I also need help with one more

Answer 6

first name the two number x and y
sum is 52
so x+y=52

Answer 7

that's the first step

Answer 8

now we look a the second information

Answer 9

mhmm

Answer 10

lets take y to be the greater number
we know from the problem that the greater number is 4 more than the smaller
so we write it y=x+4
then we have x+(x+4)=52

Answer 11

ok I'm getting it

Answer 12

now we just need to find the smaller number
x
take off parenthesis
x+x+4=52
2x=48
x=24
smaller number 24
bigger number 28

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

finding the actual number is just extra step from me
you only need x+(x+4)=52

Answer 15

ohhh I get it

Answer 16

can u help with 1 more? it is
Natalie works in a toy shop and earns $43 per day. She earns an extra $3 for each toy she sells. If Natalie wants to earn at least $70 per day, which inequality shows the minimum number of toys, n, that she should sell?

43 + 3n ≥ 70, so n ≥ 9

43 + 3n ≤ 70, so n ≤ 9

43 + 3n ≥ 70, so n ≥ 24

43 + 3n ≤ 70, so n ≤ 24

Answer 17

the least means >= ok

Answer 18

she earns 3$ for each toy
let n be a number of toys she could sell
then we can do 3n to know what she get for each toy sold
and we also know that her regular salary is 43$
so 43+3n

Answer 19

we need that to be at least 70$ or up
so 43+3n>=70

Answer 20

solve for n

Answer 21

n>=9

Answer 22

you got it!!

Answer 23

ty, how can I metal you?

Answer 24

hit best response :)
