    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of smaller rooms be x

    Total rooms are 19. So, number of larger rooms = 19 - x

    Total guests = 87

    3x + (19-x) 6 = 87

    Our system is : S + L = 19, and 3S + 6L = 87

    Let # of small rooms = S

    # of Large rooms = L

    10 Large rooms and 9 Small rooms

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let # of small rooms = S

    # of Large rooms = L

    S + L = 19

    3*S + 6*L = 87

    Our system is : S + L = 19, and 3S + 6L = 87

    solve.

    S = 19 - L

    3 * (19 - L) + 6L = 87

    57 - 3L + 6L = 87

    57 + 3L = 87

    3L = 30

    L = 10

    S = 19 - 10 = 9
