1. A large tank contains 50 gallons of water into which 5 pounds of salt has been dissolved. A solution containing 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped into the tank at the rate of 4 gal/min The well- stirred mixture is pumped out at the slower rate of 3 gal/min. Find the number of pounds of salt X(t) in the tank at time t.
