52 double bed rooms were rented, and that means there were 26 single bed rooms rented.
Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3
y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5
So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.
You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.

Answer:
x=6
y=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=8 equation 1
x-2y=16 equation 2
equation 2+equation1 ; 4x = 24
x = 6
substitution x in equation1 ;
18+2y=8
2y = -10
y = -5
