Answer:

Donovan scored 6 points, Kolby scored 12 points and Jeremy scored 18 points.

Explanation:

Given that during a basketball game, Jeremy scored triple the number of points as Donovan, and Kolby scored double the number of points as Donovan, if the three boys scored 36 points, to determine how many points did each boy score the following calculation must be done:

J = 3D

D = D

K = 2D

J + D + K = 36

3D + D + 2D = 36

6D = 36

D = 36/6

D = 6

Thus, Donovan scored 6 points, Kolby scored 12 points and Jeremy scored 18 points.
