A tank with a capacity of 25 L originally contains 15 L of brine with a concentration of 5 g/L of salt. Water containing 1 g/L of salt is entering at a rate of 5 L/min, and the mixture is allowed to flow out of the tank at a rate of 4 L/min. Find the concentration (in g/L) of salt in the tank when it is on the point of overflowing.
