We let x and y be the number of Hobbies & Recreation and Soliloquies episodes that Steve subscribe. The system of linear equation that best represent the given above is,
                                          x + y = 10
                                         32x + 42y = 340
The values of x and y from the system are 8 and 2, respectively. Thus Steve subscribed to 8 Hobbies & Recreation and to 2 Soliloquies episodes.
