    Let the two numbers be x and y

    According to first condition,

    x=5y ……(1)

    21 is added to both the numbers

    Therefore we have (x+21) and (y+21)

    According to second condition

    x+21=2(y+21)

    From equation (1)

    5y+21=2y+42

    5y-2y=42-21

    3y=21

    y=7

    Substituting y=7 in eq(1) , we get

    x=5(7)

    x=35

    Hence the two numbers are 7 and 35
