Answer:

$y=18-x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of batches of muffins

Each batch requires cup of flour = 3

So, No. of cups required for x batches = 3x

Martin has an 18-cup container of flour that he uses for muffins only.

So, remaining flour = 18 - 3x

Let y denotes the cups of remaining flour

So, $y=18-x$

So, an equation to show how much flower is left in the container after x batches of muffins is $y=18-x$
