first, name your variables
x = # of students in 1st country
y = # of students in 2nd country
then create a system of equations
x + y = 63,172
x = y + 7306
Now solve the equations by substituting the x value in the first equation.
You should get 35239 people in the first country (x) and 27933 in the second country (y)
In a particular year, a total of 63,172 students studied in two of the most popular host countries when traveling abroad. If 7306
