Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.
Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.
Q(0) = 70 pounds
Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min
So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons
Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow
= 0 - 
i.e. 
This is a variable separable equation
Use when t =0 Q = 70
A =70
So A(t) = Q(t) = 
and
A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
He gets 7.80 an hour so you multiply 7.8 by 5.25 hours
