Question

As of 2018, the New York Yankees had won most World Series Championships than any other team. At this point, the Yankees had won 3 more than 4 times the number of World Series championships won by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The sum of the two teams' World Series championships is 33. How many times has each team won the World Series?

Answer 1

Yankees = 27

Dodgers = 6

Explanation:

Looks like we may need to make 2 equations

Let Y be Yankees and D be Dodgers

.

Y + D = 33

Y = 4D + 3

Let's take the first equation and solve for D

D = 33 - Y

Now we can plug it into equation 2

Y = 4(33-Y)+3

Y = 132 - 4Y + 3

Y = 135 - 4Y

Adding the 4Y to the other side

5Y = 135

And lastly dividing the 5Y, we get that Y = 27

Yankees has 27 championships

Since both had 33, All we do is 33-27 and we see D had 6
