From the given information that "Chris has four more than twice as many rocks in his wagon as Gordon has in his wagon", we can set up an equation:
x = 2y + 4 ...................(1)
If he gives gordon six rocks, then Chris has x - 6 rocks and Gordon has y + 6.
From the given information that "If he gives gordon six rocks, he will have one more than gordon", we can set up another equation:
x - 6 = (y + 6) + 1 ..........(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2) simultaneously we have
x = 22
y = 9
So Chris has 22 rocks.
And Gordon has 9 rocks.
