Answer: The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of small cars rented and y be the number of large cars rented.

As per given statements , we have the following system of equations:

5x+8y=51--------(1)\\\\ x=y+5--------------(2)

Substitute the value of x from (2) in (1), we get

5(y+5)+8y=51

5(y)+5(5)+8y=51    (Distributive property)

5y+25+8y=51

13y=51-25  (Subtract 25 on both both sides)

13y=26

y=2 (Divide both sides by 13)

Put value of y in (2) , we get x=2+5 =7

∴ The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

Here’s the answer and each step I took to solve it. With the example I made on the side just continue to repeat that for each one to get the answers. You just replace that one number for the X to take the place for the next X value as you go down the table solving them.
