Question

The two stadiums with the largest capacities are Marshfield Stadium and Bowden Stadium. The capacity of Marshfield Stadium exceeds that of Bowden by 6,793 people.​ Combined, the two stadiums have a capacity of​ 210,355 people. Find the capacity of each stadium

Answer 1

B + m = 210,355
m = b + 6793

b + b + 6793 = 210,355
2b + 6793 = 210,355
2b = 210,355 - 6793
2b = 203,562
b = 203,562 / 2
b = 101,781 <=== Bowden

m = b + 6793
m = 101,781 + 6793
m = 108,574 <=== Marshfield
