x=y+8 => y=x-8
x=3y

2x = 4y + 8 /:2
x = 2y + 4
x = 2*(x-8) + 4
x = 2x - 16 + 4
x - 2x = -12
-x = -12
x = 12

y = x - 8
y = 12 - 8
y = 4

I think the anwser is team y has 4 points and team x has 12 points because 4×3=12-4=8 so team x has 3× the points team y does and has an 8 point lead.
hope this helps and dont forget to hit that heart :)
