    No

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The tanks have separate amounts of starting amounts and they are depleting at the same rate, meaning that they will never be the same.

    You can also do it like this:

    The volume of the first tank can be modeled by y = x + 50

    The volume of the second tank can be modeled by y = x + 75

    Now find when they are equal by setting the equations to each other.

    x + 50 = x + 75

    x = x + 25

    0 = 25

    This equation has no solution
