Answer:

81000 people went to Bonnaroo.

192000 people went to Lollapalooza.

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of people attending festivals,
N=273000

Number of people attending Lollapalooza is 30,000 more than twice the people attending Bonnaroo.

Unknown:

Number of people attending Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.

Let the number of people attending Bonnaroo be
x.

Therefore, the number of people attending Lollapalooza is equal to
30000+2x

Evaluate:

Sum of people attending Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza is equal to the total number of people attending the festivals. So,


x+30000+2x=N\\3x+30000=273000\\3x=273000-30000\\3x=243000\\x=(243000)/(3)=81000

Substitute and Solve:

Now, we have,
x=81000.

Substitute 81000 for
x and solve for the number of people attending both the festivals. This gives,

Number of people attending Bonnaroo =
x=81000

Number of people attending Lollapalooza =
30000+2x=30000+2(81000)=30000+162000=192000

Therefore, 81000 people went to Bonnaroo and 192000 people went to Lollapalooza.
