Alice has a total of 12 dimes and nickels. She has 2 more nickels than dimes.

Which equation represents the given problem situation?
c+(c + 2) = 12, where c is the number of dimes
c+2c= 12, where c is the number of dimes
C+(c+ 2) = 12, where c is the number of nickels
c+2c =12, where c is the number of nickels​
