A mule and a donkey were carrying some sacks. The mule says to the donkey: “If you give me one of your sacks, I will have as many as you.” The donkey responds: “If you give me one of your sacks, I will have twice as many as you.” How many sacks did they each have?

If the mule carry X sacks and the donky Y sacks than:

X-1=Y+1

2(Y-1)=X+1 than:

X=5,Y=7
