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 drinks she can serve?

Answer 1

So 44 glasses
therefor 44 is max number of glasses used
x=number of iced tea galasses
y=number of lemonate glasses
so add them together to find total
total glasses==x+y
total max=44
therefor
x+y is less than or equal to 44 aka
x+y<44
