Answer:

Answer:

3n + 7 = 37

Explanation:

n represents the number of guests seated at each of the large table.

There are 3 large tables.

So, total number of guests in large table = 3n

Number of guests in smaller table = 7

Hence, total number of guests = 3n + 7

But, it is given that the total number of guests = 37

Hence, 3n + 7 = 37
