Q:

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. which equation represents the total number of stamps malik collected? which equation represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected? which system of linear equations represents the situation?

Accepted Solution

A:
x = number of domestic stamps

y = number of foreign stamps

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps.
Β 
=> x + y = 212

he has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps.

=> x = y + 34


which equation represents the total number of stamps malik collected?

x + y = 212

which equation represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected?

x - y = 34

which system of linear equations represents the situation?

x + y = 212
x - y = 34
