To solve this problem, we need to write an expression for the number of seats California had in terms of the number of seats Texas had.

Let's assign the variable "t" to represent the number of seats Texas had. Based on the given information, we know that California had 21 more seats than Texas had.

To express this information as an expression, we can add 21 to the number of seats Texas had:

Expression for the number of seats California had = t + 21

So, the expression for the number of seats California had is (t + 21).
