Let the first number is x and second is y
Given twice of first added with second gives 21
∴2x+y=21 ...(1)
And given twice of second added with first gives 27
∴x+2y=27 ...(2)
Multiply (1) by 2
Then 4x+2y=42 ...(3)
Subtract (3) with (2)
Then 3x=15
Or x=5
Put the value of x=5 in (1)
Then 10+y=21
Or y=21−10
Or y=11
Then first number is 5 and second is 11.
