    Used: 1/4x + 5

    Left: 3/4x - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Monday: 1/4 of the x matched

    1/4x are used

    Tuesday: uses 5 more

    1/4x + 5 are used

    Total used 1/4x + 5

    To find what is left, take what was started with x, and subtract what was used

    Left: x - (1/4x+5)

    x - 1/4x - 5

    3/4x - 5
