The attendance at two baseball games on successive nights was 67,000. The attendance on Thursday's game was 7000 more than two-thirds of the attendance at Friday nights game. How many people attended the baseball game each night?
----
Fri attendance = x
Thurs attend = x+7000
----
Equation to solve for "x":
x + x+7000 = 67000
2x = 60,000
x = 30,000
x+7 = 37,000
