She needs 10 liters     of   10%

 

amount of 5%  = x                    amount of acid =   .05x

amount of 40% = (10-x)            amount of acid = .40 (10-x)       

                                                         summed, these = the amount of acid in the final product =  .10 (10)

 

 

.05x         +      .4 (10-x)             =    .10 (10)         solve for 'x' the amount of 5%           then 40% amount =  10-x
