Explanation:
Total weight of x children = 20x kg.
When 5 children join, then average weight.
`=((20"x"+5xx12)/("x"+5))` ...............(i)
when 10 children leave, Then average weight.
`=((20"x"-21xx10)/("x"-10))` ...............(ii)
From question, (i) = (ii),
`(20"x"+60)/("x"+5)=(20"x"-210)/("x"-10)`
2 (x − 10)(x + 3) = (2x − 21)(x + 5)
2x2 − 14x − 60 = 2x2 − 11x − 105
3x = 105 − 60
x = 15
