Answer: Jeremy score 18 points; Donovan score 6 points.

Step-by-step 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.
