One dozen = 12
So
Two dozen = 24

Explanation:

The numerical expression for 2 dozen eggs would be 24 eggs.
Because you already know that there are 2 dozen eggs then you don't need a variable expression, as that is only needed if you don't know how many eggs you have. A variable expression would be used if the question was d dozen eggs.

d dozen eggs would equal to 12d as a variable expression because d is the unknown.
