Answer

{$(1,0), (4,3)$}

Work Step by Step

Since, we have first equation: $5y=x^2-1$ and second equation: $x-y=1$ From the first equation, we have $5(x-1)=x^2-1$ or, $x^2-5x+4=0$ or, $(x-4)(x-1)=0$ Thus, $x=${$1,4$} From the second equation, we have $1-y=1$ or, $y=0$ Thus, $y=0$ Now, $4-y=1 \implies y=3$ Hence, the solution set: {$(1,0), (4,3)$}
