Answer
Texas has 34 electoral votes; California has 55 electoral votes.
Work Step by Step
If the number of votes in Texas is denoted by x, then the number of votes in California is x + 21, and the sum of votes in Texas and California equals 89, so the expression is written as:
x + (x + 21) = 89
Solve for x:
2x + 21 = 89
2x = 68
x = 34
Texas has x = 34 electoral votes.
California has x + 21 = 34 + 21 = 55 electoral votes.
