Let x be the number of liters of the 10% solution to be used, and y the number of liters of the 4% solution. The chemist wants to end up with a 4 liter solution, so

x+y=4

For each liter used in the mixture, a concentration of either 10% or 4% acid will be contributed, and the goal is to make a 4L solution whose concentration is 7%, which means

0.1x+0.04y=0.07(x+y)=0.28

Solving for x,y gives x=y=2, so 2L of both solutions is needed.
