Fiona is serving iced tea and lemonade at a picnic. She has only 44 glasses in which to serve the drinks. If x represents the nu
mber of glasses of iced tea and y represents the number of glasses of lemonade, which equation represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve? x minus y equals 44 44 plus y equals x y minus x equals 44 x equals 44 minus y
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.
Suppose x-6 is listed as a possible answer. That is zero if x = 6. So put x=6 into the original x^2 + 4x - 60 to get 6^2 + 4*6 - 60 = 36 + 24 -60 = 0. hence x-6 is a factor.
Answer (x-6)
on this hand :x-5 is not a factor, because plugging x=5 into does not work.
