Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

x - y = 34

x + y = 212

2x = 246

x = 123

123 + y = 212

y = 89

(123, 89)
