Respuesta :

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

d+(d-3)

2d-3  dozen eggs

Answer:

Option B is correct

[tex]2d-3[/tex]

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, [tex]2d-3[/tex] dozen eggs the bakery has in both refrigerators
