Solve Mixture Applications with Systems of Equations · Example 4

Translate to a system of equations and solve:
Sasheena is a lab assistant at her community college. She needs to make 200 milliliters of a 40% solution of sulfuric acid for a lab experiment. The lab has only 25% and 50% solutions in the storeroom. How much should she mix of the 25% and the 50% solutions to make the 40% solution?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
