The first question is a dilution. You are adding a material which contains zero amount of the solute to be diluted.
5%2A5%2F%28v%2B5%29=4


Second question is two-part mixture for known amount of resulting mixture. You can do all in one single variable if you want.
y, the gallons volume of the 10%
10-y, the volume of the 40%
-
%2810y%2B%2810-y%2940%29%2F10=20
