I was asked a riddle and need help solving it.
>2 farmers standing in a field talking, farmer 1 says to farmer 2 " if you give me one of your sheep we will have the same amount of sheep". Farmer 2 says back "if you give me one of your sheep ill have twice as many as you". How many sheep do they have (its 2 numbers).
