Let x be the volume of the first liquid and y be the volume of the second liquid (in cm^3).
Then the total volume equation is x + y = 1000 cm^3, (1)
while the total mass equation is 2x + 3y = 2400 grams. (2)
From the first equation x = 1000 - y.
Substitute it into the second equation. You will get
2*(1000-y) + 3y = 2400
Simplify and find y.
2000 - 2y + 3y = 2400
y = 400.
Then from equation (1), x = 1000-400 = 600.
thus the volumes are 600 cm^3 and 400 cm^3 for the first and the second liquids, respectively.
The masses are 2*600 = 1200 grams and 3*400 = 1200 grams (the same masses for both liquids).
