Question

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 number 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?

Answer 1

Answer: 44-y represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Let x be the number of glasses of iced tea.

Let y be the number of glasses of lemonade.

Total number of glasses = 44

According to question,

`x+y=44`

So, the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve is given by

`x=44-y`

Hence, 44-y represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve.

Answer 2

x = 44 − y

Explanation:

x is the number of glasses of iced tea, and y is the number of glasses of lemonade. The sum is 44, so:

x + y = 44

Solving for x:

x = 44 − y
