Using the first equation, we have y =9-x
Substituting this into the second equation, we have
(x - (9-x))^2 = 25 Simplifying we have
(2x -9)^2 = 25 Expaand this on the left
4x^2 -36x + 81 = 25 Subtract 25 from both sides
4x^2 - 36x + 56 = 0 Factor, if possible
(4x -8) ( x -7) = 0 setting each factor to 0, we get
x = 2 and x =7 And using x + y = 9
y = 7 and y = 2 But since y > x. then
(2, 7) is the solution
