She wrote a 4 instead of a 3.
There are only 3 numbers that are greater than 7. They are 8, 9, and 10. Mariah must have include 7 in her list. That is how she got 4 instead of 3.
The answer is 30.25 or as a fraction 30 1/4
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, we have that the change rate of salt in the tank is
, where
is the rate of salt entering and
is the rate of salt going outside.
Then we have,
, and

So we obtain.
, then
, and using the integrating factor
, therefore
, we get
, after integrating both sides
, therefore
, to find
we know that the tank initially contains a salt concentration of 10 g/L, that means the initial conditions
, so 

Finally we can write an expression for the amount of salt in the tank at any time t, it is 
b) The tank will overflow due Rin>Rout, at a rate of
, due we have 500 L to overflow
, so we can evualuate the expression of a)
, is the salt concentration when the tank overflows
