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.<span>

There are no properties because you can do anything with subtraction and division
Simplify
Let's simplify step-by-step.
x(5)−3(x−4)
Distribute:
=x(5)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−4)
=5x+−3x+12
Combine Like Terms:
=5x+−3x+12
=(5x+−3x)+(12)
=2x+12
Answer:
=2x+12
You have to divide denominator by numerator to find the constant of proportionality.
So, adding a negative number is the same as subtracting.
4-3+5-2
Then if you want, you can use the associative property.
(4-3)+(5-2)
1+3
4
