    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
