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

x + y = 34✔ x – y = 34x + y = 212x – y = 212

x + y = 34x – y = 34✔ x + y = 212x – y = 212

x + y = 34 and x + y = 212x – y = 34 and x – y = 212x + y = 34 and x – y = 212✔ x – y = 34 and x + y = 212

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination.
