Answer 2

let the positive number be x

so, the other number will be = 5x

21 is added tho both the numbers:-

x+21

5x+21

when 21 is added to both the number then, one number is twice of the other, which simply means that

2(x+21) = 5x+21

⇒ 2x + 42 = 5x + 21

⇒ 42 - 21 = 5x - 2x

⇒ 21 = 3x

⇒ 21/3 = 3x/3                           ( Dividing both sides with 3)

⇒ 7 = x

the first number is x=7

and the second number is 5x=35
