Final answer:

The problem asks for the total number of erasers after Amberleigh buys an additional x erasers to her initial 52. Without the value of x, we cannot determine the exact number of erasers Amberleigh has, thus we cannot select an answer from the options provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to a simple algebra problem commonly encountered in middle school mathematics. Amberleigh originally has 52 erasers and then acquires an additional x erasers. To determine how many erasers Amberleigh has now, we need to add these two quantities together.

The expression for the total number of erasers Amberleigh has after the purchase is 52 + x. Since x represents the number of erasers bought and is an unknown quantity, we cannot select a specific numeric answer from the options provided (A) 52, (B) 53, (C) 54, (D) 55, or (E) 56. We need the value of x to determine the exact total. As such, without knowing the value of x, we cannot determine the correct answer from the options given.
