Answer:
[w-v] b is answer
Step-by-step explanation:
How many more votes the winner received than the loser can be thought of as the distance between the two numbers of votes on the number line.
Hint #22 / 5
The distance between two numbers is equal to the absolute value of their difference.
For example, | a - b|∣a−b∣vertical bar, a, minus, b, vertical bar is the distance between aaa and bbb.
Hint #33 / 5
We want to find the distance between \blue{w}wstart color #6495ed, w, end color #6495ed and \pink{v}vstart color #ff00af, v, end color #ff00af.
Hint #44 / 5
The distance between \blue{w}wstart color #6495ed, w, end color #6495ed and \pink{v}vstart color #ff00af, v, end color #ff00af is |\blue{w} - \pink{v}|∣w−v∣vertical bar, start color #6495ed, w, end color #6495ed, minus, start color #ff00af, v, end color #ff00af, vertical bar or |\pink{v}-\blue{w}|∣v−w∣vertical bar, start color #ff00af, v, end color #ff00af, minus, start color #6495ed, w, end color #6495ed, vertical bar.
Hint #55 / 5
\left\lvert \blue w- \pink v\right\rvert∣w−v∣open vertical bar, start color #6495ed, w, end color #6495ed, minus, start color #ff00af, v, end color #ff00af, close vertical bar always represents how many more votes the winner received than the loser.
