Question

On Tuesday, Mo's chickens produced ten less than twicethe eggs he had on Monday. Let m represent the numberof eggs produced on Monday. Which expression representsthe number of eggs produced on Tuesday?O (2+ m) – 10O2m – 10O2m + 10O 10 - 2m

Answer 1

We have that m represents the number of eggs produced on Monday.

We have to find an expression that represents the sentence "ten less than twice the eggs he had on Monday".

We can start with "twice the eggs he had on Monday".

This quantity will be 2 times m or 2m, as m is the number of eggs he had on Monday.

Then, the value of this expression is "ten less than 2m", which can be represented as: 2m-10.

Answer: the expression represents 2m-10
