Answer: School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.
Explanation:
Let the number of points School Y has be x
Let the number of points School X has be 3x
According to question, we get
[tex]3x-x=8\\\\2x=8\\\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\\\x=4[/tex]
So, the number of point School Y has 4.
and number of points School X has
[tex]3x=3\times 4=12[/tex]
Hence, School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.
