Damariay is draining 2 aquariums. The tanks are the same size. One tank has 7 in. of water. It's being drained at a rate of 1 in./min. The other tank has 5 in. of water. It's being drained at a rate of 0.5 in./min. After how many minutes will the tanks contain the same amount of water?
Im not quite sure how to to solve it? HELP? thank you

7 - t = 5 - 0.5t
2 = 0.5t
t = 4 minutes
2 = 0.5t
t = 4 minutes

The answer is 4 minutes, they will both have 3 Inches of water.
I can't say how I did, just did it manually with my head.
