Anne and Michael's Goats



Anne and Michael each have goats.
Michael says to Anne : "If you give me one of your goats, I will have double of what you will have remaining".
Anne replies :"If you give me one of your goats, we will have exactly the same number of goats".

How many goats do Anne and Michael have?


As you can see, I incorporated the goats as M n Ms. For this question, Quziyah and I found out the answer was 7 and 5. If Michael gives one M n M to Anne, they both have 6, then if Anne gives one M n M to Michael then he will have double the amount of goats than Anne.
