Explanation:

first fish tank: 95-4x

second fish tank: 40+5x

1. Define variable

The variable x represents the number of days.

2. Write the inequality

95-4x=40+5x

3. You probably don't need the answer but I am just going to solve.

The first fish tank will have less water than the second fish tank after 7 days.

95-4x=40+5x

95-4(7)=40+5(7)

95-28=40+35

67=75

Since the first equation (95-4x) represents the first fish tank, and the second equation (40+5x) represents the second fish tank, the solution shows how the amount of water in the first fish tank is less than the amount of water un the second fish tank after 7 days.
