Answer: School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points School Y has be x

Let the number of points School X has be 3x

According to question, we get

`3x-x=8\\\\2x=8\\\\x=(8)/(2)\\\\x=4`

and number of points School X has

`3x=3* 4=12`

Hence, School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.
