Dude, do the math! I'm not going to do your math homework for you... but I'll do a weird sampley thing. Let's say Roberta gives Tony $6 and they have the same amount. But if she give Tony $6 again she will have twice as much cash as him. If we let X=Tony's starting money and Y=Roberta's starting money, then we can assume that X+6=Y-6 and 2(X+12)=Y-12. Apply the distributive property and 2X+24=Y-12. Divide by 2 on either side and X+24=Y-12. Thus, X and Y are 36 apart. Try and figure that one out from there, and apply the same principles to your 5s problem... hope I helped... but I made no sense to myself... and also don't say "INSTANT 5 NO MATTER WHAT" because then all the dumbasses will just answer "blah gimme a 5" and they'll look like good columnists by rating...

Well, let's use Robeta's intial cash as R and Tony's as T.
She give him $5, and they are equal. So, that means the She lose 5 dollars, he gains it. Loses is negative, gains is positive.
R-5=T+5
Then, solve for one variable. I like R, so bring the 5 over.
R=T+10
Then, you have a second equation. I am guessing you mean tony give her $5, for if she gave it to him, there is no solution. So, use the plus minus above, and you get
R+5=T-5
However, it is given the R+5 will be twice of T-5. So,
R+5=2(T-5)
Solve for R
R+5=2T-10
R=2T-15
Then, substitute is T+10 for all Rs, as you found above.
T+10=2T-15
T=25
NOT DONE!
Substitute the 25 in the 1st equation.
R=25+10
R=35
So, T has $25, R has $35
