Your head chef is ordering large cans of chicken broth for the upcoming week. There are 10 cans sitting on the shelf before he places an order. The cans come in packages of 6. The total number of cans of chicken broth, y, can be expressed in terms of the number of packages of chicken broth, x, that were ordered. Which equation represents this situation? A. Y= 6x-10
B. Y= 6x+10
C. Y= 10x-6
D. Y= 10x+6

number of cans = 10

number of packages orded = x

1 package = 6 cans

total cans = y

total cans = cans sitting on shelf + ordeded packages of cans

y = 10 + 6x ( D )

why 6x ? because we don't know how many packages of cans(x) are ordered but we do know that in 1 package there are 6 cans . so in order to know how many cans are ordered, 6 must times the number if packages ordered that is x. that's why it becomes 6x.

i pretty sure it is
