Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct

$2d-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

A bakery has d dozen eggs in one refrigerator and 3 fewer dozen eggs in another refrigerator.

First refrigerator has  = d dozen eggs

Second refrigerator has  = d - 3 dozen of eggs

We have to find how dozen eggs the bakery has in both refrigerators

Total number of dozen eggs in both refrigerator = d + d- 3

Combine like terms;

Total number of dozen eggs the bakery has in both refrigerators = 2d-3

Therefore, $2d-3$ dozen eggs the bakery has in both refrigerators

Answer 2

Answer:

2d - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are d  dozen eggs in the first refrigerator and d-3 dozen eggs in the second refrigerator

Add them together

d+(d-3)

2d-3  dozen eggs
