A tank contains 1000 L of pure water. Brine that contains 0.05 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 5 L/min. Separately, brine that contains 0.04 kg of salt per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 10 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at a rate of 15 L/min. Let y(t) be the amount of salt (in kg) aftert minutes. (a) How much salt is in the tank after t minutes? y(t) kg (b) How much salt is in the tank after 30 minutes? (Round the answer to one decimal place.) y(30) = kg
