Respuesta :

Answer:

Violet reserved 7 small room and 14 large rooms in the hotel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of small rooms reserved is x and that of the large room reserved is y.

Given that Violet reserved twice as many large rooms as small rooms, which altogether can accommodate 91 guests.

So, y = 2x .......... (1)

Again given that small rooms that can hold 3 people, and large rooms that can hold 5 people.

So, 3x + 5y = 91 ......... (2)

Now, substituting value of y from equation (1) to equation (2) we get,

3x + 5(2x) = 91

⇒ 13x = 91

⇒ x = 7

So, from equation (1) we get, y = 2x = 14

Therefore, Violet reserved 7 small room and 14 large rooms in the hotel. (Answer)
