Hi @Sana Mohamed
It seems that your equation for u causes the level of Tank #2 to dip below 0, thus term sqrt(x(2)) returns an error message related to the complex number. In the attached Simulink model, your original u is disabled and two lines are added in the "Level Controller" Function Block:
where and are the reference levels of Tank #1 and Tank #2, respectively.
Note: I didn't know how you derived your original equation for u. But from your scripts, the Dual Tank Liquid Level System is given by
with the initial condition
and you want to regulate the level of Tank #2 to . Since can only be affected by , I designed the reference level of Tank #1, so that
.
Then, I backstepped the process and designed the control equation for u so that
.

Back to your query, I actually used basic algebra manipulation and the exponential decay principle. No difficult math!
I started from your original error definition, where you want to track the tank #2 level
.
Taking the time derivative of
, because due to , a constant.
Making substitution to obtain the error dynamics
.
Following the principle that guarantees exponential decay
where , is chosen as the indirect manipulated variable because we can directly manipulate in dynamics through the direct manipulated variable u.
Thus, we can equate both equations where
and solve for
.
Making substitution for to obtain the reference where must track
.
Similarly, repeat the design steps to obtain for u:
.
Here, because I find it a little mathematical tedious to obtain the time derivative for , I let , and thus it is reduced to
.
By the way, how did you derive the original equation for u? Can you show me?

Afterthoughts: I think you can possibly design based on
which leads to
and
