A fixed layout you set the width to a fixed width. e.g. 800 px. This will not adjust to the visitor's screen resolution therefore, if you chose to use say, 1000px, then a visitor with their screen resolution set smaller than 1024 x 768 or with their browser window not maximized will see a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the window.
With a liquid (or fluid) design the width of your design adjusts to the screen resolution of the user and/or the width of their browser window. As long as a single image or images forced to be side by side add up to less than the available viewable area available in the browser window, there will be no scroll bar.
