I have an mdframed environment and i want another frame, just with background color, inside it but i don't wish to have the above title inherited.

That's why i used the shaded environment. My problem is that i can't align the inner shaded box with the inner lines of the outer.

Is there a way that i can fit both boxes perfectly, with no whitespace and no overlaps of one on top of the other?

\documentclass[9pt,twoside,openright,showtrims]{memoir} 
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{mathspec,xltxtra}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}
\colorlet{shadecolor}{gray!10}

\newcounter{solved}[chapter]
\renewcommand{\thesolved}{\thechapter.\arabic{solved}}
\newenvironment{solved}[1][]{%
\refstepcounter{solved}
\begin{mdframed}[%
    frametitle={\textbf{\Large{SOLVED EXAMPLE} \thesolved}\ \\ #1},
    frametitlerule=true,
    frametitlerulewidth=1pt,
    frametitlerulecolor=black,
    innertopmargin=-0.7em,%
    innerleftmargin=0.4em,%,
    hidealllines=true,leftline=true,
    %frametitlebackgroundcolor=gray!70,
    linewidth=10pt,
    linecolor=gray!80,
    %fontcolor=white,%
    %backgroundcolor=gray!10
]%
}{%
\end{mdframed}
}

\begin{document}
\begin{solved}[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet]
\begin{shaded}

You can use another mdframed for the inner shaded area. For this define a style like

\mdfdefinestyle{style2}{frametitle={},innertopmargin=5pt,linecolor=blue!20,%
             linewidth=2pt,hidealllines=true,topline=true,backgroundcolor=gray!20}

and apply it to the inner mdframed environment.

\documentclass[9pt,twoside,openright,showtrims]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
%\usepackage{mathspec,xltxtra}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}
\colorlet{shadecolor}{gray!10}

\newcounter{solved}[chapter]
\renewcommand{\thesolved}{\thechapter.\arabic{solved}}
\newenvironment{solved}[1][]{%
\refstepcounter{solved}
\begin{mdframed}[%
    frametitle={\hspace{0.5em}\textbf{\Large SOLVED EXAMPLE \thesolved}\ \\ \hspace*{0.5em}#1},
    frametitlerule=true,
    frametitlerulewidth=1pt,
    frametitlerulecolor=black,
    innertopmargin=0em,%
    innerleftmargin=0em,%,
    innerrightmargin=0em,
    hidealllines=true,leftline=true,
    %frametitlebackgroundcolor=gray!70,
    linewidth=10pt,
    linecolor=gray!80,
    %fontcolor=white,%
    %backgroundcolor=gray!10
]%
}{%
\end{mdframed}
}

\mdfdefinestyle{style1}{frametitle={},innertopmargin=0pt,
             linewidth=0.5em,linecolor=white,hidealllines=true,rightline=true,leftline=true,
             }
\mdfdefinestyle{style2}{frametitle={},innertopmargin=5pt,innerrightmargin=0.5em,%
             linewidth=2pt,linecolor=gray!20,hidealllines=true,topline=true,leftline=true,
             linewidth=0.4em,backgroundcolor=gray!20}

\begin{document}
\begin{solved}[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet]
\begin{mdframed}[style=style2]

  • @SofiaMouseti Please see the edit. If you need a tcolorbox variant, let me know.

  • thank u, but the problem is that everytime the outer 'solved' example is very big and has to break in multiple pages, it shows the first frame and then it breaks the second inner frame (the one with the solution) in a new page
