Problem Statement

A steak temperature 5∘5^\circ is put into an oven. After 1515 minutes, it has temperature 45∘45^\circ. After another 1515 minutes it has temperature 77∘77^\circ. The oven is at a constant temperature. The steak changes temperature at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of the oven. Find the oven temperature.
