Question

A farmer collected some eggs from his farm and found b eggs broken. He packed the remaining eggs in c egg cartons. Each egg carton can hold a dozen eggs and no eggs were leftover. Write an algebraic expression for the number of eggs he collected initially in terms of b and c.

Answer 1

12c+b

Answer 2

I think it's 12 x c + b because 12 eggs are a dozen multiply by unknown, you get a multiple of twelve then you add your broken eggs for the total.
