However, the answer should be something like 2A+3B or C = 2A+3B

---------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

A = number of model A trucks
2*A = total capacity of just the model A trucks
Note: 2A is the same as 2*A so let's just write 2A from now on

B = number of model B trucks
3*B = total capacity of just the model B trucks
Note: similar to the last note above, 3*B = 3B so let's write 3B from now on

We have 2A tons from the model A trucks and 3B tons from the model B trucks.
Add up these expressions to get 2A+3B which is the total capacity of all the trucks (both models included).

If C is the total capacity, then we can say
C = 2A+3B
