The tiger minnow, which can be found in Lake Jackson and in Lake Bradford, is a small meat-eating fish. At the present time, there are 900 tiger minnows in Lake Jackson and 100 tiger minnows in Lake Bradford, but a new 10-foot-wide canal between these two lakes will soon change these numbers. Because tiger minnows eat other fish and themselves, the total population remains about the same. Bob Brite, an Eagle Scout from Troop B, has done nothing but watch the tiger minnows going through the canal. During the past month Bob has observed 90 tiger minnows go from Lake Jackson to Lake Bradford, and he has observed 5 tiger minnows go from Lake Bradford to Lake Jackson. Assuming that these migration patterns will remain the same, how many tiger minnows will be in each lake in the long run?
