Answer: Let's use "x" to represent the number of electoral votes in Florida. Then, we can write the equation for North Carolina's number of electoral votes as "x - 12".
The equation can then be written as:
x + (x - 12) = total number of electoral votes
Solving for x, we get:
2x - 12 = total number of electoral votes
2x =total number of electoral votes + 12
2x = total number of electoral votes + 12
x = (total number of electoral votes + 12)/2
So, the number of electoral votes for Florida is (total number of electoral votes + 12)/2.
Note: The total number of electoral votes for both states needs to be known in order to solve for the number of electoral votes in Florida.
