Answer:

B. NM2008 - 2 = 2 (NE2008 + 12)

Explanation:

Acme company has twice as many employees as managers so the number of employees would be multiplied by 2 to find the actual number of employees. The company will hire 12 new employees and will fire 2 managers in next 5 years. The correct equation will show the number of employees plus 12 new employees and managers minus 2 managers who are fired.
