Ineed 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 solve the system of equations. how many foreign stamps does malik have? stamps how many domestic stamps does malik have? stamps

So we have two equations
x - y = 34
x + y =212
Let's take the first equation and put it in terms of x
x-y+y= 34+y
x= 34 + y
Now that we have a value for x, substitute it into the second equation for x and solve for y.
(34+y)+y=212
34+y+y = 212
34+2y= 212
34-34+ 2y=212-34
2y= 178
2y/2=178/2
y= 89
Now that we know the value for y, we can substitute it into the first equation and solve for x.
x-89=34
X-89+89=34+89
X=123
Y= 89
X =123

ANSWER
Domestic Stamps: 123
Foreign Stamps: 89

After solving the system of linear equations, Malik has 123 domestic stamps and 89 foreign stamps.

Let x represent the number of domestic stamps.Let y represent the number of foreign stamps.

Given the following system of equations:

To solve the system of linear equations, we would use the elimination method:

Adding the two equations together, we have:

Dividing both sides by 2, we have:

x = 123 domestic stamps

To find the value of y:

y = 89 foreign stamps
