In a town election, the winning candidate had 220 more votes
\n" ); document.write( "than the loser. If 810 votes were cast in all, how many votes did each candidate receive?
\n" ); document.write( "..............................................................................
\n" ); document.write( "First, determine variables:
\n" ); document.write( "l=votes for loser
\n" ); document.write( "w=votes for winner
\n" ); document.write( "..............................................................................
\n" ); document.write( "Next, determine equations:
\n" ); document.write( "w=220+l
\n" ); document.write( "l+w=810
\n" ); document.write( "..............................................................................
\n" ); document.write( "Last, combine these equations:
\n" ); document.write( "l+w=810 original
\n" ); document.write( "w=810-l use subtstitution
\n" ); document.write( "w=220+l original
\n" ); document.write( "810-l=220+l plug in for variable
\n" ); document.write( "590=2l combine
\n" ); document.write( "l=295 loser's votes
\n" ); document.write( "l+w=810 original
\n" ); document.write( "295+w=810 plug in for variable
\n" ); document.write( "w=515 winner's vote \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
