Question

2. A positive number is 5 times another
number. If 10 is added to both the
numbers, than one of the new numbers
becomes thrice the other number. What
are the numbers ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller number = x

bigger number = 5x. -----(we need this.)

if 21 is added to both; 5x+21 = 2×(x+21)

5x + 21 = 2x + 42

5x - 2x = 42 - 21

3x =. 21

x = 21/3= 7

So the positive number is = 5×7 = 35

answer is 35
