Answer:

  2 small; 3 large

Step-by-step explanation:

Using s and L for the number of small and large cars, respectively, we have ...

  5s +8L = 34 . . . . number of passengers

  s + L = 5 . . . . . . . number of cars

  5s +8(5 -s) = 34 . . . . substitute for L

  -3s +40 = 34

  -3s = -6 . . . . . . subtract 40

  s = 2 . . . . . . . . divide by -2

  L = 5-2 = 3

2 small cars and 3 large cars were rented.
