    q = 0.5 quarts of 100% antifreeze

    Step-by-step explanation:

    q = quarts of pure antifreeze

    Set this up as a weighted combination of the mixtures.

    (100%) (q) + (10%) (4) = (20%) (q + 4)

    100q + 40 = 20 (q + 4)

    5q + 2 = q + 4

    4q = 2

    q = 0.5 quarts of 100% antifreeze
