Answer:

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.
