Therefore Sam collected 42 stamps and Maggie collected 168 stamps
What are system of equations?
These are made of several equation with unknown variables
Let the amount of stamp Sam be x
Let the amount of stamp Maggie be y
If Maggie has collected four times as many stamps as sam, hence;
y = 4x
If the total stamp is 210, hence;
x + y =210
x + 4x =210
5x = 210
x = 210/5
x = 42
Since y = 4x
y = 4(42)
y = 168
Therefore Sam collected 42 stamps and Maggie collected 168 stamps
