Answer:

School X= 8 points

School Y= 2 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

points of School X can be written as

X= 6+Y ---> eq(1)

Equation 2:

points of School X can be written as

X = 4Y --->eq(2)

In order to find the points of each school, we will equate equation 1 and 2

∴6+Y =4Y

6 = 3Y

Y= 2  putting this value in eq (1)

eq(1)=> X= 6 + 2 =8

Answer: school X has 8 points and school Y has 2 points
