Step-by-step 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
<em>95-4x=40+5x</em>
<em />
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.
<em>95-4x=40+5x </em>
<em>95-4(7)=40+5(7)</em>
<em>95-28=40+35</em>
<em>67=75</em>
<em>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.</em>

Answer: Choice A. |w - q|</h3>
Let's say for example that w = 10 and q = 7. This means the distance between these values is w-q = 10-7 = 3. This is the distance between w and q.
Now let's make q larger. If w = 12 and q = 20, then w-q = 12-20 = -8 assuming we subtract in the same order. We use absolute value bars to ensure the result is positive. So instead we say
|w - q| = |12 - 20| = | -8 | = 8
Distance is never negative.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we want to present growth as a function of time; the growth depends upon the number of days that go by. So, growth(y) is the dependent variable and time (in days, x) is the independent variable.
