Answer: 2 d - 3

Explanation:

Here, the number of dozen eggs in one refrigerator = d

According to the question,

There are 3 fewer dozen eggs in another refrigerator.

⇒ The number of eggs in another refrigerator = d - 3

Thus, the total dozen of eggs in both refrigerator = the number of dozen eggs in first refrigerator + the number of dozen eggs in second refrigerator

= d + d - 3

= 2 d - 3

Which is the required expression.
