Question

Fiona is serving iced tea and lemonade at a picnic. She has only 44 cups in which to serve the drinks. If x represents the number of glasses of iced tea and y represents the number of glasses of lemonade, which equation represents the number of glasses of iced tea she can serve?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 44 - y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the following information:

Number of cups that Fiona has for serving iced tea and lemonade =Total number of cups = 44

Number of glasses of iced tea served = x

Number of glasses of lemonade served = y

Then the equation can be represented by

$x + y = 44\\x = 44 - y$

Answer 2

Number of cups that Fiona has for serving iced tea and lemonade = 44
Number of glasses of iced tea served = x
Number of glasses of lemonade served = y
Then the equation can be represented by
x + y = 44
x = 44 - y
