Leezas aquarium holds 55 gallons of water. She is filling the tank and has already put in 22 gallons. Write and solve an inequality to determine out how many more gallons she might put in the tank.

Respuesta :

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Capacity of aquarium = 55 gallons of water

Water already in aquarium = 22 gallons

Let,

x be the number of gallons that can be added in aquarium.

As aquarium can hold 55 gallons of water, therefore, we cannot add more than 55 gallons of water.

[tex]x+22\leq 55[/tex]

Subtracting 22 from both sides

[tex]x+22-22\leq 55-22\\x\leq 33[/tex]

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.
