Question

On Tuesday, Mo's chickens produced ten less than twice the eggs he had on Monday. Let m represent Monday's eggs, and write an expression for Tuesday's production level.

A. 2m − 10
B. 2 + m − 10
C. 2m + 10
D. 10 − 2m

Answer 1

The correct expression to represent Tuesday's egg production, which is ten less than twice the amount of Monday's production, is 2m − 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to write an expression for Tuesday's egg production level for Mo's chickens, given that Tuesday's production was ten less than twice Monday's eggs. We are told to let m represent Monday's eggs. Following this instruction, the expression for Tuesday's production level would be the quantity that is twice Monday's production (2m) minus ten (−10).

The correct expression for Tuesday's production level based on this information is 2m − 10, which corresponds to option A.

To write an expression for Tuesday's production level, we need to consider that Mo's chickens produced ten less than twice the eggs he had on Monday. Let m represent Monday's eggs. This can be written as 2m - 10. Therefore, the correct expression for Tuesday's production level is 2m - 10.
