The problem goes like this:
A local referendum passed by 137 votes. If 993 votes were cast, how many voters voted against the referendum?
I did this:
(x+137)+x=993
2x+137=993
2x=(993-137)
2x=856
2x/2=856/2 = x=428
428 voters voted against the referendum.
Is that correct? Please? I'm hoping it is...*fingers crossed*
Thanks!
