Question

Answer 1

HELP :(

Answer 2

There is a total of 44 cups. So the number of glasses of lemonade and iced tea needs to be equal to 44. So you get
\[x+y=44\]

Answer 3

x=22 y=22

Answer 4

It doesnt tell that she sells the same amount of each, therefore you cannot conclude x=22 and y=22.

Answer 5

what are the choices anyway
