Answer:

4+x>13

x>9

Explanation:

This statement represents an inequality. To solve for the missing number first write out the inequality algebrically.

"Four more" implies that 4 is being added to the number. Another way to "a number" is to use the variable, x. So, the left side of the inequality is 4+x. Then, it says that this is "more than" 13. Thus, the greater than sign, >, should be used. This means that the final inequality is 4+x>13.

Next, you can solve the inequality by subtracting 4 from both sides. This gives x>9.
