Let the winning candidate be \"+x\"
\n" ); document.write( "and the loser \"+y+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given: the winning candidate had \"220\" more votes than the loser =>\"+x+=+y+%2B220\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"since+x%2B+y+=+810\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y+%2B+220%29+%2B+y+=+810\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y+=+810+%96+220\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y+=+590\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+590%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+295+\" =>\"+x+=+295+%2B+220\" = > \"x+=515\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"295+%2B+515+=+810\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
