The statement "the sum of a number and 4" can be translated as "x + 4", and "is 13" can be translated as "= 13". So, the equation would be "x + 4 = 13". Choice A subtracts 4 from x, while choice B adds 4 and 13 together. Choice D wrongly sets the sum of the number and 13 equal to 4.

Translate "The Sum of a Number and 4 Is 13 x−4=13x - 4 = 13x−4=13

Translate "The Sum of a Number and 4 Is 13 $x - 4 = 13$
