Question 399804: Hello! I would please like to know 2 linear equations i could set up for the following word problem:
At the end of the 2000 baseball season, The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds had won a total of 31 World Series. The yankees had won 5.2. times as many World Series as the Reds. How many World Series did each team win?
I've tried x+y=31
and 5.2x+y=31 I just dont understand it. :( Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! " The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds had won a total of 31 World Series" ___ r + y = 31 (you have this one)
"The yankees had won 5.2. times as many World Series as the Reds" ___ y = 5.2r
