Obi has 4 times as Olu = 4x
Olu's sweet = x
If Obi gives Olu 21 sweets, they will have equal number of sweets. Therefore,
Obi's sweet = 4x-21
Olu's sweet = x+21
Equating both number of sweets and solving for x,
4x-21 = x+21
Collecting like terms
4x-x =21+21
3x=42
Dividing both sides by 3
3x/3 = 42/3
x = 14
Since Obi has 4x, Obi's sweet = 4×14=56
Olu's sweet = 14

Check: 4x-21 = x+21
56-21 = 14 +21
35 = 35
