In a town election, the winning candidate had 220 more votes than the loser. If 810 votes were cast in all, how many votes did each candidate receive?
------------
Let the loser number be "x"; then the winner had x+220 votes
---------------
EQUATION:
x + x+220 = 810
2x = 590
x = 295 (loser number of votes)
x+220 = 515 (winner number of votes)
