A teacher has a 2-gallon (32-cup) container of juice. She gives each student a 1/2 cup of juice. Which equation represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served? a. y = 32x - 1/2 b. y = 1/2x - 32 c. y = -1/2 x + 32 d. y = -32 x + 1/2 WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR GOOD EXPLANATION

total cup = 32

1 student = 1/2 cup

find remaining cup = y

*we don't know how many students are there, so we just let it be x .

remaining cup = total cup - cup drank by students

y = 32 - 1/2x

y = -1/2x + 32 ( option c )

why 1/2x ? because we don't know how many students drank the juice, so we just let it be x .
