The capacity of Marshfield Stadium exceeds that of Bowden by 4,389 people. the two stadiums have a capacity of 210,355 people. Find the capacity of each stadium

Question

Just trying to figure out to get the answer

Answer 1

let m = capacity of Marshfield Stadium, and m - 4389 = capacity of Bowden Stadium

 

then m + m - 4389 = 210355

2m = 214744

m = 107372 the capacity of Marshfield Stadium

m - 4389 = 102983 the capacity of Bowden Stadium

 

107372 + 102983 = 210355
