Two largest stadiums with the largest capacities are Marshfield stadium and Bowden stadium. Marshfield stadium has a capacity of 6,053 more than Bowden. If the combined capacity for the two stadiums is 210,355, find the capacity for each stadium.
B + M =210355
M = B + 6053
B + (B + 6053)=210355
2B+6053=210355
2B=204302
B=102151
M=102151+6053=108204
