x + y = 5 -----------------------------------------(1)


x^2+y=11-----------------(2)

From equation (1), we have

y = 5 - x ----------------------------------------(3)

Substituting equation (3) into equation (2), we have


\begin{gathered} x^2+(5-x)=11 \\ \Rightarrow x^2-x+5-11=0 \\ \Rightarrow x^2-x-6=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore


\begin{gathered} x^2+2x-3x-6^2=0 \\ x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0 \end{gathered}

Hence


\begin{gathered} (x-3)(x+2)=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=3\text{ or -2} \end{gathered}

When x = 3 and using y = 5 - x

y = 5 - 3 = 2

and when x = -2

y = 5 - (-2) = 5+2=7

Therefore the possible solutions are

(3, 2) and (-2, 7)
