A 48 gallon tank is filled with pure water. Water which has a concentration of 2g of salt per gallon flows into the tank at a rate of 3 gallons/min, and the mixture is stirred to a uniform concentration. Water also leaks from the tank at the same rate, 3 gallons/min. Find a differential equation describing the rate of change of salt in the tank.
