sheep

[albalass]

two farmers meet at the market, one farmer says if you give me one sheep we'll have the same amount. The other farmer says no, if you give me a sheep i'll have twice as many as you. how many sheep do the farmers have?
anyone know the answer??

5 and 7.
If the one with 7 gives one up, they'll both have 6.
If the one with 5 gives one up they'll have 4 and 8.
