Lexington Reservoir has 300 million gallons of water. About 0.07% of the water is lost to evaporation every week. About 150,000 gallons of water enter the reservoir every week. The amount of water in the reservoir at the end of each week is given by the recursively defined sequence

w0 = 300 wn = (0.9993)wn-1 + 0.15

Determine the amount of water in the reservoir at the beginning of the second week. That is, determine w2.
