Answer:

Each of the twin beds: 5 decorative pillows

Each of the queen beds: 11 decorative pillows

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pillows used for each twin bed be x

Let the number of pillows used for each queen bed be y

she decorated 1 twin bed and 2 queen beds and used a total of 27 pillows. Thus;

x + 2y = 27 - - - (eq 1)

Also, she used

37 pillows to spruce up 3 twin beds and 2 queen beds. Thus;

3x + 2y = 37 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, x = 27 - 2y

Thus;

3(27 - 2y) + 2y = 37

81 - 6y + 2y = 37

81 - 4y = 37

4y = 81 - 37

4y = 44

y = 44/4

y = 11

x = 27 - 2(11)

x = 27 - 22

x = 5

Thus, she used 5 decorative pillows for each of the twin beds and 11 decorative pillows for each of the queen bed
