A small box holds 6 eggs.
A large box holds 12 eggs.
Uzma buys x small boxes of eggs and Y large boxes of eggs.
a)Write down an expression, in terms x and y,for the total number of eggs that Uzma buys

The amount of eggs Uzma buys is calculated as the amount of boxes, times the amount of eggs in each box
She bought x small boxes, and since each small box holds 6 eggs, then she bought a total of x * 6, or small eggs
She bought y large boxes, and since each large box holds 12 eggs, then she bought a total of y * 12, or large eggs
She therefore bought a total of eggs, which can also be expressed as: eggs
