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? x minus y equals 44 44 plus y equals x y minus x equals 44 x equals 44 minus y

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation which represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve is:

                  x equals 44 minus y   (i.e.  x=44-y)

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of glasses of iced tea and y represents the number of glasses of lemonade.

Now, the total number of glasses she has to serve the drinks are: 44

This means that:

   x+y=44

Now, we are asked to find the equation which represents the number of glasses of ice tea she can serve i.e. we are asked to find the value of x in terms of y.

i.e.

                              x=44-y
