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 I need help please

its not

The first one x + (x + 6) = 60
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because you would need 34(34+6)=74

The smaller number is x and the bigger number is 6 more than the smaller number, hence x + 6. Together they equal 60

I honestly don't know, you might be right, but that's what I think the answer is

Yes I'm pretty sure it is A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure but

If you solved it, x would be 27.
27 + (27 + 6) = 60
27 + 33 = 60
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes that works perfectly
OpenStudy (chrispaul03):

negative 7 over 6, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 48.
