Answer:

The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the the number of 2-point shots is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of 1-point shots

y ----> the number of 2-point shots

we know that

x+y=57 ----> equation A

x+2y=99 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The intersection point is (15,42)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the the number of 2-point shots is 42
