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.
