I got the answer 20c+10

4c+6 for supplier A
6c-1 for supplier B
10c+5 for supplier C

Combining the like terms of C you would get 20c
Then combining the other number (-1,6,5) you get 10

Answer: 20c + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

(c represents crates)

I wrote each equation separately first.

Supplier A: 4c + 6

Supplier B: 6c - 1

Supplier C: 10c + 5

We can add all the cs from each supplier giving us 4c + 6c + 10c which equals 20c. Now we can add the extra shoes as, 6 + (-1) + 5 equaling 10. I wrote -1 because we are missing that shoe, but you can write it as 6 - 1 + 5 instead. Together the two numbers make the equation 20c + 10. Hope that helps : )
