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:

x = 44 − y

Step-by-step 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

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step 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.
