21. Let 𝑥 be the number of games won by the AFC.

Let 𝑦 be the number of games won by the NFC.
38 SB games had been played with the AFC and the NFC.
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 38
The NFC won to more games than the AFC.
𝑦 =𝑥+2
The system of equations is:

1. Let 𝑥 be the volume of the 10% saline solution.

Let 𝑦 be the volume of the 20% saline solution.

0.1𝑥 + 0.2𝑦 = 0.12 ∗ 1000

{
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1000
Solving the second equation for 𝑥 𝑥 = 1000 − 𝑦
Plugging 𝑥 = 1000 − 𝑦 into 0.1𝑥 + 0.2𝑦 = 120
0.1(1000 − 𝑦) + 0.2𝑦 = 120
100 − 0.1𝑦 + 0.2𝑦 = 120
0.1𝑦 = 120 − 100
20
𝑦=
0.1
𝒚 = 𝟐𝟎𝟎

Plugging 𝒚 = 𝟐𝟎𝟎 into 𝑥 = 1000 − 𝑦

𝑥 = 1000 − 200
𝒙 = 𝟖𝟎𝟎
The solution pair for the system of equation is (𝟖𝟎𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟎)

In conclusion, it would need 800mL of the 10% solution and 200mL of the 20% to
create 1000mL of 12% solution.
2. Let 𝑚 be the one of the numbers
Let 𝑛 be the other number.

The sum of the digits of the two numbers is 12.

𝑚 + 𝑛 = 12
The difference of the digits is 2.
𝑚−𝑛 =2
The system of equations is:
𝑚 + 𝑛 = 12
{
𝑚−𝑛 =2
Adding both equations
(𝑚 + 𝑚) + (𝑛 − 𝑛) = 12 + 2
2𝑚 = 14

𝑚=

𝒎=𝟕
Plugging 𝒎 = 𝟕 into 𝑚 + 𝑛 = 12
(7) + 𝑛 = 12
𝑛 = 12 − 7
𝒏=𝟓
The solution pair for the system of equation is (𝟕, 𝟓)

However, we do have a restriction. The units’ digit is supposed to be greater than

the tens’ digit. So, in reality, our number is 57.
