Question

Jolie uses 2 tomatoes every day to prepare her salad. If n equals the number of tomatoes Jolie had before she made her salad and c equals the number of tomatoes left after the salad is made, which equation represents the number of tomatoes Jolie has after she made her salad?



n = 2 − c
c = n − 2
c = 2 − n
n = c − 2
please just give me the answer.
