    Answer: 158 people came to see them play.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of people that came to see them play.

    A local garage band, held a rent party. They charged $3 per person for admission. This means that the total amount that they charged for x people would be 3x

    The proceeds were used to pay for the rent.

    If the rent is $420 and they ended up with an extra $54 after paying the rent, it means that

    3x - 420 = 54

    3x = 54 + 420 = 474

    x = 474/3 = 158
