Water containing 0.5 lb/gal of salt enters a tank at a rate of 2 gal/min and leaves the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min. Suppose the tank initially contains 300 gallons of water and 60 lb of salt. (a) Set up an ODE for the amount of salt in the tank, x(t). b)solve it c)Sketch an accurate solution for x(t).

A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?
