I NEED HELP NOW!!!!
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?

____foreign stamps

How many domestic stamps does Malik have?

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
Lanuel

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:

[tex]x - y = 34\\\\x + y = 212[/tex]

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

Adding the two equations together, we have:

[tex]2x = 246[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2, we have:

[tex]x = \frac{246}{2}[/tex]

x = 123 domestic stamps

To find the value of y:

[tex]x + y = 212\\\\y = 212 - x\\\\y = 212 - 123[/tex]

y = 89 foreign stamps
