  1. Given :-

    A positive number is 5 times to another number. if 21 is added to both the numbers,then one of the new numbers becomes twice the another new number.

    To Find :-

    Two numbers

    Solution :-

    Let the number be x

    Another number will be 5 × x = 5x

    Now

    [tex]\sf 5x+21=2(x+21)[/tex]

    [tex]\sf 5x + 21=2x+42[/tex]

    [tex]\sf 2x-5x = 21-42[/tex]

    [tex]\sf -3x=-21[/tex]

    [tex]\sf x = \dfrac{-21}{-3}[/tex]

    [tex]\sf x = 7[/tex]

    Hence,

    First number = 7

    Second number = 5 × 7 = 35

    • To find, Required two numbers

    Solution :

    According to the first condition

    A positive number is 5 times to another number.

    → First number = 5 × 2nd number

    • Consider the first number be 5x and 2nd number be x

    According to the second condition

    If 21 is added to both the numbers,then one of the new numbers becomes twice the another new number.

    • First number = 5x + 21
    • Second number = x + 21

    → 5x + 21 = 2(x + 21)

    → 5x + 21 = 2x + 42

    → 5x – 2x = 42 – 21

    → 3x = 21

    → x = 21/3

    → x = 7

    •°• First number = 5x = 5 × 7 = 35

    •°• Second number = x = 7

    • Required numbers are 35 and 7
