Answer:

(x, y) = ( 5, 6)

(x, y) = ( - 1, 0)

Explanation:


\begin{cases} y + x^2 - 5x = 6\\\\ y - x = 1\implies y = x + 1\end{cases}

Plug
y = x +1 in the equation
y + x^2 - 5x = 6 we find:


x + 1 + x^2 - 5x = 6


x^2 - 4x - 5=0


x^2 - 5x +x- 5=0


x(x - 5) +1(x- 5)=0


(x - 5) (x+1)=0


(x - 5) =0, \: (x+1)=0


x =5, \: x=-1


When \:x =5 \implies y =5+1=6

(x, y) = ( 5, 6)


When \:x =-1 \implies y =-1+1=0

(x, y) = ( - 1, 0)
