Answer: Jeremy score 18 points; Donovan score 6 points.
Explanation:
Let Jeremy's points be a
Let Donovan's point be b
Let Kolby point be c
Jeremy scored triple the number of points as Donovan. This is:
a = 3b
Kolby scored double the number of points as Donovan. This will be:
c = 2b
The the three boys scored 36 points. This will be:
a + b + c = 36
Since a = 3b and c = 2b
Plug the equations for a and c into the equation. This will be:
a + b + c = 36
3b + b + 2b = 36
6b = 36
b = 36/6
b = 6
Donovan has 6 points
Jeremy will have:
a = 3b
a = 3 × 6
a = 18
Jeremy has 18 points.
Kolby will have:
c = 2b
c = 2 × 6
c = 12
Kolby will have 12 points.
