In a recent election Corrine Brown received 13 comma 03113,031 more votes than Bill Randall. If the total number of votes was 119 comma 017119,017​, find the number of votes for each candidate.

Let's solve this problem step by step.

Given:
- Corrine Brown received \( 13,031 \) more votes than Bill Randall.
- The total number of votes is \( 119,017 \).

Let's denote:
- The number of votes Bill Randall received as \( x \).
- The number of votes Corrine Brown received as \( x + 13,031 \).

The total number of votes is the sum of votes for both candidates:
\[
x + (x + 13,031) = 

In a recent election, Corrine Brown received 13,031 more votes than Bill Randall. If the total number of votes was 119,017, find the number of votes for each candidate.
