Votes for winner = W
\n" ); document.write( "Votes for loser = L
\n" ); document.write( "Total number of votes = W + L = 810
\n" ); document.write( "The winning candidate had 220 more votes than the loser:
\n" ); document.write( "W=L+220
\n" ); document.write( "substitute into the first equation for W:
\n" ); document.write( "(L+220)+L=810
\n" ); document.write( "2L+220=810
\n" ); document.write( "2L=590
\n" ); document.write( "L=295
\n" ); document.write( "Recalling that W+L=220,
\n" ); document.write( "W+295=810
\n" ); document.write( "W=515\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the winner got 515 votes and the loser had 295 votes.\r
