There are 584 students who will vote for two
candidates.


Then the total votes for both candidates is 584

Let the winner candidates recieves  x
votes.


Then, the loser candidate will receive  x -
122.


==> x + ( x-122) =
584


==> 2x - 122 =
584


==> 2x = 706


=> x =
706/2 = 353


Then the winner received 353
