Question

emilio is setting tables at the italian restaurant he manages. he starts with a stack of 35 glasses, and he places 4 glasses on every table he sets. write an equation that shows how the number of glasses remaining, y, depends on the number of tables emilio sets, x. y =

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total glasses used

The number of glasses placed on \( x \) tables, with 4 glasses per table, is \( 4x \).

Step2: Find the remaining glasses

Start with 35 glasses, subtract the used glasses (\( 4x \)) to get remaining glasses \( y \). So the equation is \( y = 35 - 4x \).

Answer:

\( y = 35 - 4x \)
