Question

. A positive number is 5 times another number. If 21 is added to both the numbers,
then one of the new numbers becomes twice the other new number. What are the
numbers?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the smaller number be x. Then the greater number is 5x.

When 21 is added to x, the sum is x + 21.

When 21 is added to 5x, the sum is 5x + 21.

It is given that when 21 is added to both the numbers, one of them becomes twice the other, meaning

$5x + 21 = 2(x + 21)$

$5x + 21 = 2x + 42$

$5x - 2x = 42 - 21$

$3x = 21$

$x = \frac{21}{3} = 7$

Therefore, the numbers are

x = 7

5x = 5 x 7 = 35

Answer: 7 and 35
