    Okay! Let's think simply about this and set up an equation.

    18 votes + 22 votes + y votes = ?

    It has to equal 68 votes because the problem says everyone voted.

    All we need to do to figure out how much y is, is to subtract 18 and 22 from 68.

    That way, we are left with however many votes the student gave to the 3rd candidate.

    18 + 22 + y = 68

    y = 68 - 18 - 22

    y = 28

    Your answer is 28 votes
