−4( 2x + y ) − ( 4x + y )
=4x+4y-4x-4y
-8x-3y
=4x+4y-4x-4y
-8x-3y

If there are x ml of 20% then the rest (100-x) is 40%.
So, add up the acid in the parts; it must equal the acid in the result:
.20x + .40(100-x) = .24*100
and that's liters, not leters.
When you get your answer, note that 24% is 1/5 of the way from 20 to 40, so 1/5 of the mixture must be the higher concentration.
