West highs schools population is 250 student fever than twice the population of east high schoo. The two schools have a total of 2858 students. How many students attend east highschool

The total number of students in the two schools is x + 2x - 250

As the total is 2858, we have

x + 2x - 250 = 2858

Solving for x, we have

3x - 250 = 2858

3x = 3108

x = 1036

So the number of students attending East High School is 1036.

The number of students attending West High School can be found by substituting x = 1036 into 2x - 250.

2x - 250 = 2*1036 - 250 = 1822
