The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of people in small car = 4
Number of people in large car = 7
Total people in both type of cars = 72
Let,
x represent the number of small cars rented.
y represent the number of large cars rented.
According to given statement;
4x+7y=72 Eqn 1
y = 2x Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 18

Putting x=4 in Eqn 2

The students rented 4 small cars and 8 large cars.
