Aproblem 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 h represent the number of horses.
which equation represents the situation?
2h + 2 = 16
2(h+2)=16
h + 2 = 16
2h−2=16

2h-2=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h > the number of horses

c > the number of a cows

we know that

h+c=16 > equation A

h=c+2

c=(h-2) > equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for h

h+(h-2)=16

2h-2=16

2h=16+2

2h=18

h=9

therefore

The equation that represent the situation is

2h-2=16

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.
