Answer

The solution is $(0,5)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system is $y-5=-x^2$ ...... (1) $y=5$ ...... (2) Substitute $5$ for $y$ in equation (1). $\Rightarrow 5-5=-x^2$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 0=-x^2$ Multiply each side by $-1$. $\Rightarrow 0=x^2$ Take square root on each side. $\Rightarrow 0=x$ Hence, the solution is $(0,5)$.
