Write an equation to find the unknown number using a variable for the unknown.

A large aquarium has 6 more fish than a small aquarium. There are 19 fish in the large aquarium. How many fish are in the small aquarium?

Answer (3)

Okay so basically the question is asking you to write an equation to show the amount of fish in a small aquarium. What is given to you is that there are 19 fish in the large aquarium and a small aquarium holds 6 less fish than the large aquarium. So based on that you know that if you do 19-6 you get the amount of fish in the small aquarium. Now all you have to do is make the equation. :) hope that helped.

We set up the equation x + 6 = 19 to find the number of fish in the small aquarium. By solving the equation, we find that there are 13 fish in the small aquarium. The variable x represents the number of fish in the small aquarium.
