36 - d
2d - 3
d + d - 3
d - 36
none of the above

Answer 1

Option B is correct

`2d-3`

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

2d - 3

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
