( * = multiplication/multiply/times ) 
Let x - liters of 10% acid solution needed
4-x = liters of 4% acid solution needed

.1x + .04*(4-x)
-------------------- = .07
           4

.1x + .04*(4-x) = 4*.07
.1x + .16 - .04x = .28
.06x = .12
x=2
4-x=2

2 liters of 10% acid solution are needed
2 liters of 4% acid solution are needed

If you're still uncertain, we can check our work as so: 

.1x + .04*(4-x)
--------------------- = .07
            4

.1 * 2 + .04 * (4-2)
------------------------ = .07
             4

.2 + .08
------------ = .07
     4

.28 = .07 * 4
.28 = .28 

Hope I helped.

Nostrana [21]
3^2 = 9 = 4+5
5^2 = 25 = 12+13


work:
If you want to write an odd number as the sum of two consecutive integers, just subtract 1 then divide by 2 and you'll get the first integer.

Like with 25: first subtract 1 and get 24. Then divide by 2 and get 12. So the integers are 12 and 13.
