we convert the rate of 2t+3 liters  per minute to 60(2t+3)=120t+180  liters per hours. The total amount  of water in the tank at time T  hours past noon is the integral     ∫_0 ^( T) (120t+180)dt = 60T^2 +180T  The tank is full when      60T^2 +180T =1000  solving for T by the quadratic  formula we get T ≈ 2.849 hours   past noon, so the tank is full   at 2:51 pm.
