Grade 6 Math Challenge


A bull and horse were working side by side, each carrying a heavy load. The bull was complaining about the excessive weight he carried; the horse replied:
 
"What are you complaining about? If I take one of your bags, my load will be twice as heavy as yours; but if you take one of my bags, your load will be equal to mine."
 
How many bags was each one carrying?
(Every bag has the same weight.)
