Buford and Festus are carrying six-packs of beer to the bass fishing tournament.

Buford complained that his load was getting too heavy.

Festus told him to quit complaining ("kwiturbitchin!")

If Buford gave Festus one six-pack, then Festus would have double what Buford had left.

If Festus gave Buford one six-pack, then they'd have an equal amount.

How much are each carrying (before any trades)?
