The answer is provided within the riddle.
The farmer has 18 sheep, all but 8 die. That means 10 sheep die, and 8 are left.
This question is not about arithmetic, but reading comprehension. You don't want to calculate 18-8=10; that's what makes the riddle tricky. You need to know that "all but 8" means "all the sheep except 8."

One sheep farmer tells another farmer Give me one of your sheep and I will have the same The other farmer says Give me one of yours and I will have twice as many as you How many sheep do they have?
An Algebra ProblemThe qualifier that their herds will be the same size with the transfer of 1 tells you there is a 2 sheep difference between the herd sizes. Farmer A has 2 less than Farmer B. The next part says that moving one sheep to the larger herd creates a 2-to-1 size ratio of the herds. With 1 more sheep, Farmer B will have 2 times Farmer A.For the equality, if Farmer A and Farmer B loses 1 , then (A+1) = (B-1), creates the relationship B = A+2Letting the smaller herd size be A, the larger herd is A+2.And the transfer of 1 sheep creates the equality A+1 = (A+2)-1The second equation says that the larger herd (presently A+2) will be twice as big as the smaller herd A if A loses 1, becoming (A-1), while the second herd becomes (A+2)+1 or A+3. This creates the formula 2(A-1) = A+3This solves to [2A-2 = A+3] and [2A = A+5] and A = 5The first farmer has 5 sheep, and the second farmer has 7 sheep.-------------In standard algebraic form, the equations are :[ x + 1 = y - 1 ] or y = x + 2y+1 = 2(x-1)Substituting, (x+2)+1 = 2(x-1) and x = 5
