The amount of grams that she must use to make the solution she needs are: 12 grams and 8 grams.

Amount of grams

x grams of 20% and 20-x grams of 35%

Hence:

0.20x+0.35(20-x)=0.26×20

0.20x-0.35x+7=5.2

Collect like terms

-0.15x=-1.80

Divide both side by -0.15x

x=-1.80/-0.15

x=12 grams of 20% or 2.4 grams pure

20-x= (20-12) =8 grams of 35% or 2.8 grams pure

Therefore the amount of grams that she must use to make the solution she needs are: 12 grams and 8 grams.
