If x is the amount of votes the winning candidate got, x-29288=y, or the amount of votes that the losing candidate got. 138201-29288=y=108913 votes

Answer: 108,913

Explanation:

Given : In a local election 138201 people voted for the winning candidate.

If the winning candidate won by 29288 votes .

i.e. Difference between winner and the other candidate = 29288

Then, the number of votes the other candidate received is given by using the subtraction operation.

i.e. Number of votes the other candidate received = Votes got by winning candidate - Difference

i.e. Number of votes the other candidate received = 138201-29288=108913

Hence, the number of votes the other candidate received =108,913
