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

X = 44 - y

will compute the number of glasses of tea Fiona can serve based on the number of cups used for lemonade.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=44-y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of glasses of iced tea .

Let y represents the number of glasses of lemonade.

Now we are given that She has only 44 cups in which to serve the drinks

Since y is the number of glasses of  lemonade out of 44 glasses

So, remaining glasses = $44-y$

So, remaining glasses is for iced tea .

So, No. of iced tea glasses =  $x=44-y$

Hence She can serve $x=44-y$ number of glasses of iced tea serve.
