Question

Elena has two fewer hats than Fran together they have 14 hats which equation represents this situationa) h-(h-2) = 14 where h is the number of hats Fran has b) h-(h-2) =14 where h is the number of hats Elena has c) h+(h-2) = 14 where h is the number of hats Fran has d) h+h(h-2) =14 where h is the number of hats Elena has

Answer 1

h+(h-2) = 14 where h is the number of hats Fran has ​(option C)

We are told the number hats Elena has is 2 less than the amount of hat Fan has.

Let's represent the number of hats with variables.

Let number of hats Fran has = h

Let number of hats Elena has = h-2

Wer are told the number of hats they both have = 14

By summing both number of hats,

`\text{ h + (h}-2)\text{ = 14}`

Since h represent the number of hats Fran has, the answer to the question from the options:

h+(h-2) = 14, where h is the number of hats Fran has .

This is option C.
