Answer
Florida recieved 27 votes, and California recieved 55 votes.
Yes, this produced the same results as question 25. This is because the specific variable (the letter you use to symbolise a number you don't yet know) that you choose doesn't have any impact on the actual value of said variable.
Work Step by Step
x = number of electoral votes for Florida
c = number of electoral votes for California
$x + c = 82$
$c = x + 28$
$x + x + 28 = 82$ (substitue c for x + 28)
$2x + 28 = 82$ (combine like terms)
$2x = 54$ (subtract 28 from both sides)
$x = 27$ (divide both sides by 2)
