Explanation:

Let Nike make x pair of Shoes/day
So, Adidas makes (x + 21) pair of Shoes/day
Also, let the schedule delivery be in Y number of days.
Therefore,
x(y-3) = 810
=> xy – 3x = 810………………….(1)
and, (x+21) (y-6) = 900
=> xy + 21y – 6x -126 = 900
Putting xy from (1)
=> 810 + 3x + 21y – 6x = 1026
=> 21y – 3x = 216
=> y = (72 + x) /7
Putting y in equation (1)
(72 + x) * x /7 3x = 810
=> 72x + x² – 21x = 810 * 7
=> x² + 51x – 5670 = 0
From the looks of the equation, x has to be a large number.
Start by putting the largest number in equation x = 54 satisfies the equation.
