Question

Two tanks, each holding 50 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes with
 liquid owing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 4 L / min, and from tank B into tank A at 1 L / min.
 The liquid in each tank is kept well stirred. Pure water ows into tank A at a rate of 3 L/min, and the
 solution ows out of tank B at 3 L / min. If initially tank A contains 2.5 kg of salt and tank B contains
 only water (no salt), determine the mass of salt in each tank at time t ≥ 0.
 Graph on the same axes the two quantities x1(t) and x2(t), where x1(t) is the mass of salt in tank A,
 and x2(t) is the mass in tank B.
