1. I suspect that neither 60% salt solution, nor 50% salt solution do not exist at normal conditions.



2. Your post is read as


   "I know nothing.

    I don't want to know anything.

    I don't want to apply any efforts.

    Solve it for me, do my work instead of me.

    Urgent pls."

It is toooooo far beyond any reasonable bounds.

#2,
w and L dimensions;
system%282w%2B2L=40%2B4w%2CL=2%2B2w%29
-
2%2BL=20%2B2w
L=18%2B2w
2%2B2w=18%2B2w----------Unable to isolate w to solve for a value;
further,
2%2B2w-2w=18%2B2w-2w
2=18
cross%282=18%29--------No solution!
