Answer 13

old question but will elaborate on the solution to help out future users
x = number of domestic stamps
y = the number of foreign stamps, as defined from the problem

the equations are:
x – y = 34
x + y = 212

if you add them together, you can eliminate y and solve for x (domestic stamps)
then plug that x back into either equation and solve for y (foreign stamps)
