Answer:

  • 259 in favor
  • 176 against

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number against. Then (435-a) is the number in favor, and the difference is ...

  (435-a) -a = 83

  435 -83 = 2a . . . . . . add 2a-83

  176 = a . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

  435 -176 = 259 . . . . number in favor

259 members voted in favor; 176 members voted against.
