    Let h = the number of horses in the field

    Let c = number of cows in the field

    There are 2 more horses than cows in the field. Therefore

    h = c + 2

    or

    c = h - 2 (1)

    There are 15 animals in the field. Therefore

    h + c = 15 (2)

    Substitute (1) into (2).

    h + (h - 2) = 15

    2h - 2 = 15

    Answer:

    The correct equation is

    2h - 2 = 15
