\(\overline{7ab}\) = \(\overline{ab7}\) x 2 + 21
700 + \(\overline{ab}\) = \(\left(\overline{ab}\times10+7\right)\) x 2 + 21
700 + \(\overline{ab}\) = \(\overline{ab}\) x 20 + 14 + 21
\(\overline{ab}\) x 20 + 14 + 21 - \(\overline{ab}\) = 700
(\(\overline{ab}\) x 20 - \(\overline{ab}\)) + (14 + 21) = 700
\(\overline{ab}\) x (20 - 1) + 35 = 700
\(\overline{ab}\) x 19 + 35 = 700
\(\overline{ab}\) x 19 = 700 - 35
\(\overline{ab}\) x 19 = 665
\(\overline{ab}\) = 665 : 19
\(\overline{ab}\) = 35
