Question 154576
"In a two-candidate election 1401 votes were cast" __ W+L=1401 __ L=1401-W


"If 30 voters had switched their votes from the winner to the loser, the loser would have won by 5 votes"
__ (W-30)+5=(L+30)


substituting __ W-30+5=1401-W+30 __ adding W+25 __ 2W=1456 __ dividing by 2 __ W=728


substituting __ L=1401-W __ L=673
