A problem states: "There are 2 more horses than cows in a field. There are 16 animals in the field in all. How many horses are there in the field?" Let c represent the number of cows.

Which equation represents the situation?

c + 2 = 16

2c−2=16

2c + 2 = 16

2(c+2)=16

2c + 2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

One group has 2 more than the other.

That means in total, they are the same but + 2.

Only 2c + 2 = 16 represents this.

step-by-step explanation:

sry but any answer choices

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
