When I open emacs, the frame size is set to: width 85 and height 40.
Is there a keybinding to toggle between maximizing the frame, and going back to the previous frame size of 85 x 40

To maximize the frame, but not make it take up the whole screen, you can use toggle-frame-maximized, which is on M-f10 by default. C-h f toggle-frame-maximized:
toggle-frame-maximized is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`frame.el'.
It is bound to <M-f10>, ESC <f10>.
(toggle-frame-maximized &optional FRAME)
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4.
Toggle maximization state of FRAME.
Maximize selected frame or un-maximize if it is already maximized.
There's a function called toggle-frame-fullscreen which looks to be bound to f11 key by default. You can use C-h f to call describe-function and put toggle-frame-fullscreen at the prompt. It will tell you about how the function works and what key it is currently bound to, if any.

3If OP want 'maximize' in the sense of 'make as big as possible without obscuring toolbars' etc., there's also
toggle-frame-maximized, which is onM-f10– rpluimJul 4, 2019 at 15:14 -

F11? If you don't resize the frame, it will toggle between full screen and window with initial size.
