The tub
If we drop the 5 l from the first tap and the second 2 liters of water, the water in the tub will have a temperature of 25°C. If we drop 3 l from the first tap and from the second 4 l of water, the water in the tub will have a temperature of 21°C. Determine the water temperatures flowing from both taps.
