D) 23

Explanation:

You can do this question using simple linear equation.

Let the number of cans she collected yesterday be $x$ $color(red)x$ .

The cans she collected today were ' double the number of cans that she collected yesterday, less 2 cans' i.e. $(2 \cdot x) - 2$ $(2*x)-2$ .

But the cans she collected today are $44$ $44$ .

Hence, $(2 \cdot x) - 2 = 44$ $(2*x)-2=44$
$\Rightarrow 2 \cdot x = 44 + 2$ $=> 2*x=44+2$
$\Rightarrow 2 \cdot x = 46$ $=> 2*x = 46$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{46}{2} = 23$ $=> x=46/2 = 23$

$therefore x=23$ . D is the answer.
