***
let x=amount of the 30% acid solution should be added to 40 liters of 10% solution
amount of final 25% solution=(40+x)
sum of acid in the two solutions=amt of acid in final solution
30%x+10%40=25%(40+x)
.30x+4=10+.25x
.05x=6
x=120
amount of the 30% acid solution should be added to 40 liters of 10% solution=120 liters
