<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation which represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve is:

x equals 44 minus y (i.e. x=44-y)

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

x represents the number of glasses of iced tea and y represents the number of glasses of lemonade.

Now, the total number of glasses she has to serve the drinks are: 44

This means that:

x+y=44

Now, we are asked to find the equation which represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve i.e. we are asked to find the value of x in terms of y.

i.e.

x=44-y
