Answer:

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
