Answer:


x=44-y

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.

x = 44 - y

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