The equation represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served is y = negative one-half x + 32; option C

Equation of the unknown

  • Quantity of juice = 2 gallon = 32 cups
  • Quantity given to each student = 1/2 cup
  • Number of juice remaining = y
  • Number of students served = x

y = 32 - 1/2x

This can also be written as;

y = -1/2x + 32

Therefore, the correct answer is option C; y = -1/2x + 32
