Answer:
Birds on second tree=y
x-1=y+1
x-y=2 x=y+2
x+1=2(y-1)
x+1=2y-2
x-2y=-3
y+2-2y=-3
-y=-5
y=5
x=7
First tree had 7 birds
Second tree had 5 birds

Let the no. of birds in trees A and B be a and b respectively.
Given that both trees will have equal number of birds if a bird from A goes to B. So,
a - 1 = b + 1
b = a - 2 → (1)
And given that the no. of birds in A will be double that of B if a bird from B goes to A. Then,
a + 1 = 2(b - 1)
But from (1),
a + 1 = 2(a - 2 - 1)
a + 1 = 2(a - 3)
a + 1 = 2a - 6
a = 7
Then,
b = 7 - 2
b = 5
