Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the correct answer. Since Mrs. Hooper and Mr. Anderson had to call a total of 8 parents, you know the first equation must be either A or B (H + A = 8).

Since you know that Mrs. Hooper had to call 2 more parents than Mr. Anderson, the equation will have to have H + 2 on one side; that's how you know the correct answer is B.
