    state A = 32 votes, state B = 53 votes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of electoral votes for state A be a and state B be b

    a = b - 21

    a + b = 85

    Substituting a for b - 21 in the second equation

    2b - 21 = 85

    2b = 106

    b = 53

    Plugging b back in

    85 - 53 = 32
