A teacher has a 2-gallon (52 cup) container of juice. She gives each student z cup of juice. Which equation represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served?

Answer:
[tex]y = 32 - \frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Cups = 32[/tex] ---- not 52
[tex]Students = x[/tex]
[tex]Remainder = y[/tex]
[tex]Each = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- not z
Required
The equation for y
The remainder y is calculated as:
[tex]y = Cups - Students * Each\\[/tex]
[tex]y = 32 - \frac{1}{2}x[/tex]
