Maggie and Reggie make necklaces to sell at craft shows. Maggie still has 7 necklaces left over from the last craft show, and she can make 2 necklaces every hour. Reggie still has 4 necklaces left from the last craft show and he can make 2 necklaces every hour.Which system of equations correctly represents this situation where n represents the number ofnecklaces and h represents the number of hours spent making necklaces?O n=7h+2 n=4h+2O h=2n−7 h=2n−4O n=2h+7 n=2h+4O n=2h−7 n=2h−4O h=2n+7 h=2n+4O n=7h−2 n=4h−2

We are told to represent

n = necklace

h = hours spent

For Maggie


n=2h+7

Where


\begin{gathered} h\text{ is the number of hours} \\ \text{Maggie already has 7 necklaces left over} \end{gathered}

For Reggie


\begin{gathered} n=2h+4 \\ h\text{ is the number of hours} \\ \text{Reggie already has 4 necklaces left over} \end{gathered}

Thus,

The answer option C

n=2h+7

n=2h+4
