Question

Malik collects rare stamps that has a total of 212 stamps he has 34 more domestic stance and foreign stamps let X represent the number of domestic stamps and let y represent the number of foreign stamps ​

Answer 1

Answer:Domestic Stamps: 123

Foreign Stamps: 89

Step-by-step explanation:

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
