STEEL PROBLEM

There are two lengths of steel that total 30 ft in length. One piece is 4.5 ft longer than the other. Which system of equations would represent this situation if L = length of LONG piece and S = length of SHORT piece.
L - S = 4.5 and L = S + 30
L + S = 30 and L = S + 4.5
L + S = 30 and S = L + 4.5
L + S = 30 and L = S - 4.5
