The conditions are impossible; they lead to a negative number of 1-point free throws.
x 3-pointers
y 1-pont foul shots
(y+18) 2-point shots
35 total shots
93 points total
Solving the pair of equations gives 21 3-point shots, 16 2-point shots, and -2 1-point foul shots.
Not a well-composed problem...!
