Let's use abbreviations to make this easier to write and read:
Ohio (OH) and Pennsylvania (PA)

PA has 2 more than OH, so PA = OH + 2
The total (68) is PA and OH together, so PA + OH = 68

Now you need to use both pieces of information to find the answer in terms of OH:
PA + OH = (OH + 2) + OH = 2 OH + 2 = 68

Can you take it from there?
