Answer: According to the question, 5x+21=2(x+21) 5x+21=2x+42⇒5x+21=2x+42 5x-2x=42-21⇒5x−2x=42−21 3x=21⇒3x=21 ⇒x= 21/3 =7 Hence another number = 7 and positive number = 7 x 5 = 35. Reply

Answer:
According to the question,
5x+21=2(x+21)
5x+21=2x+42⇒5x+21=2x+42
5x-2x=42-21⇒5x−2x=42−21
3x=21⇒3x=21
⇒x= 21/3
=7
Hence another number = 7 and positive number = 7 x 5 = 35.
