Number 1:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First Tank, \"100%2B%2815%29t\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Second Tank, \"100%2B%2820%29t\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The second tank fills at a greater rate than the first tank. The second tank will have more water in it at any value for t. The first tank WILL NEVER contain \"7%2F3\" of the quantity of water as in the second tank based on the given conditions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number 2:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"800-%2815%29t\" for emptying the 800 gal tank;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"25%2At\" for filling the 1000 gal tank;\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The emptying and filling actions start at the same time, assumed; so when are the quantities in the tanks equal?
\n" ); document.write( "\"800-15t=25t\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"800=25t%2B15t\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40t=800\"
