Answer:
- red division: 6 teams
- blue division: 5 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.
r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue
4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week
__
Solving by substitution, we have ...
r = b +1
4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r
8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify
8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5
b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7
r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r
There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
