Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

                 -1

The equation can be formed as:

On solving this equation further we get:

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

                                        = 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

                                        = 15

Total points = 8 + 15

                  = 23

Therefore, total points is 23
