    Answer:

    y =three point score =  3

    x = two point score = 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    this question can be solved using simultaneous equation

    x + y = 7  eqn 1

    2x + 3y = 17  eqn 2

    Multiply eqn 1 by 2 to derive eqn 3

    2x + 2y = 14 eqn 3

    Subtract eqn 3 from 2 :

    y = 3

    Substitute for y in eqn 1

    x + 3 = 7

    x = 4
