Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. He has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. Let x represent the number of domestic stamps and let y represent the number of foreign stamps.
This system of equations models the given information for both stamp types.
x – y = 34
x + y = 212

Respuesta :

The equation that represents the total number of stamps malik collected is x + y = 212. The equation that represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected is: x - y = 34. This is the system of two equations. Malik has a total of 212 stamps: x + y = 212. He has 34 more domestic stamps (x) than foreign stamps (y): x = y + 34. If we rearrange it, we have x - y = 34. So, this is the system of two equations: x + y = 212 and x - y = 34.

Answer: X= 123 (Domestic Stamps) Y= 89 (Foreign Stamps)
