A because it has 6 toes, suppose it has 3 arms its 6*3. D is both the fingers and toes together.

anonymous · Answer

9 toes 6 fingers

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Yes, D = # of toes and fingers combined. 6x represent the fingers each arm have. Like i said before, if it has 4 arms, he'll have 24 fingers +9y.. y = number of toes per leg

ok so its D? or A?

the_fizicx99 · Answer

A! D is from the equation D = 6x + 9y! lol

anonymous · Answer

sorry lol thx!

the_fizicx99 · Answer

Basically, suppose he has 2 arms and legs. It would be D = 6(2) + 9(2) 

D = 12 + 18

D = 30 so TOTAL amount would be 30
