Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

Liam is setting up folding chairs for a meeting. If he arranges the chairs in 9 rows of the same length, he has 3 chairs left ov
exis [7]

9x + 3 = 7x +19

2x + 3 = 19

2x = 16

x = 8

So, x (8) is the number of chairs in each row with these setups. 

Plug 8 into one of the equations and you will find how many chairs total there are.

9(8) + 3 = 75

There are 75 chairs total
