The question is best solved using basic algebra.
You need 20 gallons of 32% alcohol. This will contain 0.32*20 = 6.4 gallons of pure alcohol.
Now suppose you have X gallons of 25% alcohol in the mixture. That contains 0.25X gallons of pure alcohol.
Also, since you have 20 gallons in total, you must have 20-X gallons of the 35% alcohol. This will contain 0.35*(20-X) = 7 - 0.35X gallons of pure alcohol.
Then, the total amount of pure alcohol is 0.25X + 7 - 0.35X = 7 - 0.1X gallons.
So you have 7 - 0.1X = 6.4
or 0.6 = 0.1X or X = 6.
So the answer is 6 gallons of 25% alcohol and 14 gallons of the stronger stuff!

Suppose there are G gallons of the 30% mix. Then G gallons of 30% contain 0.3*G gallons of the active ingredient. Also 10% gallons = 0.1 gallons of 93% contain 0.093 gallons of the active ingredient. Therefore, the total volume is G+0.1 gallons which contains 0.3*G + 0.093 gallons of the active ingredient. So its strength is (0.3*G + 0.393)/(G+0.1) which is 65% or 0.65 Thus 0.3*G + 0.093 = 0.65*G + 0.065 So that 0.028 = 0.35G Or G = 0.08 gallons
