Answer:

D. 12x

Explanation:

We can first establish that there are 12 eggs in a dozen. Now, lets start off with examples. If we had 2 dozen eggs, we would have 12 * 2 eggs, which equals 24. In this case, x would equal 2 and 12 would symbolize one dozen. Now, lets look through all of the answer choices to see which makes sense. A would result in 2/12, which is not equal to 24. B would equal 12/2 or 6, which is not equal to 4 either. C is 12 + 2 which equals 14, which is not 24. Therefore, D has to be the answer, and we can see that 12 * 2 is indeed 24.

hope this helps :)
