7 In a chemical reaction a compound X is formed from a compound Y. The masses in grams of X and
Y present at time t seconds after the start of the reaction are x and y respectively. The sum of the
two masses is equal to 100 grams throughout the reaction. At any time, the rate of formation of X is
proportional to the mass of Y at that time. When t = 0, x = 5 and
