Answer:
Let point's possessed by school A = x
and point possessed by School B = y
And the statement given Regarding the school are :
School X has eight more points than School Y. School X has three times as many points as School Y .
Writing these statements in terms of equation
1. x = y + 8
2. x = 3 y
Substituting the value of x in y, we get
3 y = y + 8
Taking variable on left side of equation
3 y - y = 8
2 y= 8
y =
As , x= y + 8 gives x = 4 + 8 = 12
Point possessed by School A = 12 points
Points possessed by school B = 4 points
