Chemistry

I am really struggling with this chemistry problem. I don`t evenknow how to start..
The problem is about recrystallization:
Two crystalline compounds x and y have the same solubility ratioin water( the solubility is: 1 g/100 mL at 20 degree celsius and 10g/100 mL at 100 degree celsius) In this example we predict that ifthe x and y compunds is in the mix, they have the same solubilityratio.
1. From a mix of 10 g x and 1 g y shall clean/pure x beextraxted. How much clean x can we get after arecrystallization?
2. How much clean x can we get after a recrystallization if themix consist of 10 g x and 8 g y?
Would really appreciate some help:)

Both X and Y have same solubility ratio 1Here we take a mixture of 10 g X and 1 g Y Volume of water needed to soluble 10 g X at 100 DegC 100 mL 10g x 10 g 100 mL water Amount of X remained soluble in 100 mL of water at20 DegC 1g X See Answer
