Answer:

  15 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v represent the number of liters of 10% solution to be mixed with 5 liters of a 50% solution to obtain a 20% solution. The amount of salt in the final solution is ...

  0.10x +0.50(5) = 0.20(x+5)

  1.5 = 0.10x . . . . . simplify, subtract 1+0.10x

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

15 liters of 10% solution must be added.
