Answer

$(5,1),(5,-1),(-5,1),(-5,-1)$

Work Step by Step

$x^{2}+y^{2}=26$ Equation $(1)$ $x^{2}-2y^{2}=23$ Equation $(2)$ Multiply Equation $(1)$ by $2$ then add with Equation $(2)$ $2(x^{2}+y^{2})+x^{2}-2y^{2}=2(26)+23$ $2x^{2}+2y^{2}+x^{2}-2y^{2}=52+23$ $3x^{2}=75$ $x^{2}=25$ $x=±5$ $x=5$ or $x=-5$ Substitute $x$ values in Equation $(1)$ to get corresponding $y$ values. Let $x=5$ $x^{2}+y^{2}=26$ $5^{2}+y^{2}=26$ $25+y^{2}=26$ $y^{2}=1$ $y=±1$ Let $x=-5$ $x^{2}+y^{2}=26$ $(-5)^{2}+y^{2}=26$ $25+y^{2}=26$ $y^{2}=1$ $y=±1$ $(5,1),(5,-1),(-5,1),(-5,-1)$ satisfy the given equations. Solutions are $(5,1),(5,-1),(-5,1),(-5,-1)$
