eggs are sold in boxes.
\n" ); document.write( "A small box holds 6 eggs.
\n" ); document.write( "A large box holds 12 eggs.
\n" ); document.write( "Uzma buys x small boxes of eggs and Y large boxes of eggs.
\n" ); document.write( "a)Write down an expression, in terms x and y,for the total number of eggs that Uzma buys\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thank you i have been struggling with these sort of questions :)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The amount of eggs Uzma buys is calculated as the amount of boxes, times the amount of eggs in each box\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She bought x small boxes, and since each small box holds 6 eggs, then she bought a total of x * 6, or \"6x\" small eggs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She bought y large boxes, and since each large box holds 12 eggs, then she bought a total of y * 12, or \"12y\" large eggs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She therefore bought a total of \"highlight_green%286x+%2B+12y%29\" eggs, which can also be expressed as: \"highlight_green%286%28x+%2B+2y%29%29\" eggs\r
