Answer:

American Football Conference   (AFC) won  =  x  = 13

National Football Conference   (NFC)   won  =  y  = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Super Bowl games   31   at the end of 2000-2001 season

American Football Conference   (AFC)  , and National Football Conference

Let   x  be number of Super Bowl won by AFC

Let   y  be number  of Super Bowl won by NFC

According to problem statement

y  = x + 5    (1)

Then we got a  two equation system with

x  +  y  =  31   (2)

We solve such system, by subtitution  (value of  y  from equation (1) in equation (2)

x  + ( x + 5 )  =  31

2x  +  5  =  31

2x   = 31 -5

2x  =  26

x  = 13

and   y =  18
