    Step-by-step explanation:

    Givens

    T = Texas

    M = Mexican

    Total Soldiers = TS = 600

    T:m = 7:3

    T:TS = 7:10

    Solution

    T:TS = x:600

    T:TS = 7:10 = x:600

    7:10 = x:600 Cross Multiply

    7 * 600 = 10x

    4200 = 10*x

    4200/10 = x

    x = 420

    Therefore the number of Mexican soldiers in the battle was 600 - 420 = 180

    The difference between Texans and Mexicans was 420 - 180 = 240

    Answer: 240
