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

22x+22y=44 im not quite sure

Answer 2

x = 44 - y

Explanation:

Fiona is serving iced tea and lemonade at a picnic.

Let x be the number of glasses of iced tea and y be the number of glasses of lemonade.

So the equation represented the total number of glasses of iced tea and lemonade = x + y

Since Fiona has total number of glasses = 44

Therefore, x + y = 44

By solving, x = 44 - y

Equation which represents the number of glasses of iced tea will be x = 44 - y
