Donaldson · Answer 1

We should find out the equation that represents the number of drinks Fiona can serve. We know X as the number of glasses of iced tea and Y as the number of glasses of lemonade.

Fiona can serve both of them. She has 44 cups.

The equation is:

X+Y=44

the constraint is: X and Y must be positive numbers.
