Answer: 7 pigeons sitting on the branches, 5 pigeons under the tree
=12 in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Upper branch has x pigeons, lower has y.
Top branch said: "If one of you flies up to us our number will be double yours":
Well, if one of the bottom branch flies up, the top branch will have x+1 birds and the bottom will have (y−1). The top will have double the bottom, so:
x+1=2(y−1)
Top branch said: "If one of us flies down to you, our numbers will be equal":
Now, the top branch will have x−1 and the bottom y+1. The numbers should be equal:
x−1=y+1

Step-by-step explanation:
Remember simple multiplication? Write the problem with 17 at the bottom:
8
* 1 7
----------
5 6 <-- this is 8*7
8 0 <-- this is 8*10 [we sometimes just shift and don't write the 0]
-------
1 3 6
So, 8*17 is the same as 8*10 + 8*7.
