Question 426877: I need help setting up this question. I keep trying things that I THINK are right, and end up slamming my face into the desk.
Attendance during the first day of a two-day rodeo was low. On the second day, attendance doubled. If a total of 6600 people attended the show, what was the attendance on the first day, and what was the attendance on the second day?
Thanks in advance for all your help!

first day attendance = x
second day attendance = 2x
total attendance = 6600
=> x +2x = 6600
=> 3x =6600
=> x = 2200
so, first day attendance = 2200
on second day attendance = 4400
