For tank 2, we have r2_in(t) = r2_out(t) = 5 gal/min, c2_in(t) = Qi(t)/150
and C2_out(t) = Q2(t)/75. So the number of gallons of dye in tank 2 must
satisfy the differential equation
dq2(t)
~ = r2_in(t)c2_in(t) - r2_out(t)c2_out(t)
= (5 gal/min) ( q;) -(5 gal/min) ( q))
= (qi(t) - q^2 (t)) (gal/min).

Hence, the number of gallons of dye in tanks 1 and 2 must simultaneously
satisfy the two initial value problems
