We have two solutions (5,12) and (5,12)

Explanation:

As 10y=x2 and x26=2y, putting value of x2 from first equation into second we get

10y6=2y or

10y+2y+66=2y+2y+6 or

12y=6 or

y=612=12.

Hence, x2=10×12=5 or

x25=0 or

x2(5)2=0 or

(x5)(x+5)=0

Hence, either x5=0 i.e. x=5

or x+5=0 i.e. x=5

Hence we have two solutions (5,12) and (5,12)
