Step-by-step explanation:

just did the question, 21= x + (7 + 6x)

21=7+7x

-7   -7

14=7x

14÷7=7x÷7  

2=x

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:the two numbers are 2 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x

and the second be   7+ 6x

so that the sum of the two numbers which totals 21 be expressed as  

x + (7+ 6x) = 21

x+ 7+6x= 21

7 + 7x = 21

7x= 14

x= 14/7 = 2

one of the numbers = 2

the other number given as

7+ 6x = 7+ 6 x 2= 7+12= 19

The numbers are 2 and 19 .
