As of 2010, the new york yankees had one more world series championships than any other team. in fact, the yankees had won 3 fewer than 3 times the number of world series championships won by the second most winning team, the st. louis cardinals. the sum of the two teams' world series championships is 37. how many times has each team won the world series?

solve using a system of equations. please show work.

Step-by-step explanation:

first you get your equations, because the game sums are based upon the st louis cardinals we will use them as x.

According to the problem the yankees won 3 fewer (-3) that 3 times (3x) the st louis cardinals which brings their equation to 3x-3

The sum of these to equations equals 37

37=x+3x-3

when you solve, you get x=10

then you plug it into the DIFERENT equations

3(10)-3=27 (yankees)

x=10

then check using your preffered method
