Answer: The required equation is,

x = 44 - y

Explanation:

Since, x represents the number of glasses of iced tea and y represents the number of glasses of lemonade served by Fiona,

Thus, the total serving cups = x + y

According to the question,

Total serving cups = 44,

⇒ x + y = 44

⇒ x = 44 - y

Hence, the equation that represents the number of glasses of iced tea she can serve is,

x = 44 - y
