Answer:

x =  12      ( two points shots )

y =  7       ( three points shots )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call  "x" two points shots,  and  "y" three points shots, then

x  +  y  =  19

2*x  +  3*y  =  45

We have to solve a two-equation system for x and y

y =  19  - x

2*x  +  3 * ( 19 - x ) = 45

2*x  +  57  -  3*x   =  45

- x   =  45 - 57

-x   =  - 12

x  = 12

And     y  =  19  -  12

y  = 7
