Can you figure this out, chaps?

Fact: Both "A" and "B" have apples.


If "A" gives 1 apple to "B" then "B" will have double the apples of "A".


But ....


If "B" gives 1 apple to "A" then both "A and B" will have equal amount
of
apples.


So, the question is how many apples do each have?

Fact: Both "A" and "B" have apples.


If "A" gives 1 apple to "B" then "B" will have double the apples of "A".

2(A-1) = B+1 so
2A-2 = B+1 so
2A=B+3

But ....


If "B" gives 1 apple to "A" then both "A and B" will have equal amount
of
apples.

B-1 = A+1 so
B = A+2

So, the question is how many apples do each have?

2A = (A+2) + 3
2A = A+5
A = 5
so
B = 7

I love these things.

Oh shit, you were just trying to figure out who the biggest nerd on the board is weren't you?  Busted.

[ycartrob]

it depends...

Well, that depends on how many apples A and B eat while C is trying to figure out the fucking word problem.

BH stole my fun :(

Sorry Face.  You are not a chap.  I am assuming Horko thinks that only men can answer math questions. ;)
