36 •\• 3
12

12x2 = 24, kris score

24 kris
12 julio

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: number of points scored by Julio.

The amount of points Kris scores is:

\(2x
\)

Then, together they scored 36 points:

\(x + 2x = 36
\)

From here, we clear the value of x:

\(3x = 36

x = 12
\)

Therefore, Julio scored 12 points.

For Kris we have:

\(2x = 2 (12) = 24
\)

Therefore, Kris scored 24 points.

Answer:

Kris = 24 points

July = 12 points

The equation is:

\(x + 2x = 36\)
