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 number of loser votes be "x"
The number of winner votes is "x+220"
----------------
EQUATION:
loser votes + winner votes = 810
x + x+220 = 810
2x +220 = 810
2x = 590
x = 295 (# of loser votes)
x+220 = 515 (# of winner votes)
