x = ml of 4% acid/water = ml of 96% water/acid
y = ml of 100% water
z = ml of 0.12% acid/water = ml of 99.88% water/acid
---
0.96x + 1.0y = 0.9988(x + y)
x = 10
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
0.96x + 1.0y = 0.9988x + 0.9988y
x = 10
---
-0.0388x + 0.0012y = 0
x = 10
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
x = ml of 4% acid/water = 10
y = ml of 100% water = 323.33333

say you have 1 liter of 4% solution
Then you have liters of
concentrate ( whatever it is )
-------------------
Let = liters of water to be added
I can say:





32.333 liters of water needs to be added
--------------
check:




OK
------------
Note that you can scale up the liters of
solution to whatever amount you want
